The Caminito (pedestrian area) and the adjacent streets in the district of La Boca are a city in the city. Although the district is 100% designed for tourism with its innumerable localities, souvenir shops and tango couples, it is incredibly fun to soak up the hustle and bustle - it took us well over three hours.

The nearest Subte station is "Plaza Constitución". So if you do not want to invest the taxi money or if you want to use a bit more complicated bus service, you have to invest a good 30 minutes (2.7 km) on foot.

The visit is worthwhile in any case. Further information can also be found in the corresponding Wiki (de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caminito)

Have fun discovering.

Compared to the neighboring district of San Telmo extremely touristy, the house facades decorated with dolls are partly reminiscent of funfair ghost trains and the Tango Argentino offered at every pub seemed far less authentic than the one at Plaza Dorrego in San Telmo. Nevertheless, the Caminito with its colorful corrugated iron facades is a must-see.

Colourful La Boca or mouth in Spanish, is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city due to its bright and colourful houses and its deep rooted sporting, historical and cultural significance. It is located in the popular neighborhood of La Boca on the Riachuelo River coast only 400 meters from La Bombonera, the Boca Juniors stadium. It is simply an instagram manna for photos,

The houses weren’t always quite so bright. Local artist Benito Quinquela Martín decided to use his neighbourhood as a canvas painting back in 1960 when one abandoned street became a meeting place for the other La Boca artists. The rest of the neighborhood followed suit, and a homegrown tourist attraction was born.

It is a fascinating place full of restaurants, cafes, shops and football themed street art all set in a background of colourful buildings. If you are lucky you can see some Malevo dancers too!
