Bogotá - graffiti tour

Yesterday a guy in the hostel told me about a tour he had done. It was all about graffiti in La Candelaria, but they also have you some tips about that part of the city, so me and some other people decided to go.
I never imagined that there was such a lot of graffitis all over the town, it's literally everywhere!

For those reasons, street artists from all over the world come to the city to paint.
The tour was really good and we saw a lot of the city center. It could only have been better if it wouldn't have rained all the time :D
