These houses are the result of a project launched by the city in 2019 aimed at revitalizing this popular but isolated neighborhood. The project was coordinated by a young Bolivian graffiti artist, who drew inspiration from Andean culture.
With the help of four other graffiti artists and a team of masons, they renovated and decorated 160 houses.

Mon voyage en Bolivie avec Krasivi Tours a été transformateur. L’équipe chaleureuse a organisé chaque détail. Le programme exceptionnel a combiné visites culturelles enrichissantes et moments de rencontre avec ma famille bolivienne. Marcher sur le Salar de Uyuni a été inoubliable, mais le temps passé avec ma famille a rendu ce voyage vraiment spécial. Je suis reconnaissant envers Krasivi Tours pour cette expérience mémorable et enrichissante.
