The Caminito area of La Boca, is very interesting. We were staying in Recoleta and easily took a cab right to the district. I was interested in the area becuase of the historic, cultural, and artisitc value of the area. Argentina had a small population of African-decendents, and supposedly this is the area they resided in. The area is very... More

It was a little treat to have stopped here on a city tour. We ventured back a few times by cab to do more shopping. The cafes were good for both a cup of coffee and shurro and lunch. Check with the different shops, same stuff vary in price. Boca Juniors had just won a game the day before and... More

Boca consists of two streets with tourist shops. Nothing unique other than a few brightly painted houses. That's it. The tango dancers will dance if you pay them. Its creepy how they troll for a willing tourist. No Portenos at this "market". One restaurant had a free tango show if you ate there. Don't waste your time at Boca. Buy... More

Every city has one, a colourful corner or few square blocks that exist almost entirely as a photo stop for tourists.

I felt like I was going to get pick pocketed at any moment. We were careful to get an official cab back to the centre as had been... More

The La Boca place, there is nothing. It's a place for shopping, eat and walk around...but not too far or you can be robbed! More

Yes its touristy, but, i'm a tourist and i love argentine tango and the music, so i loved it here ! It's busy, very colourful, full of shops selling souvenirs, cafes where you can watch dancers and listen to the music. A great place to take colourful photos and spend a couple of hours. More

If you travel to Buenos Aires, you have to visit the La Boca neighbourhood! While it's a must if you like football (soccer), it's a nice and very picturesque place to visit. Home of the world-famous Boca Juniors club (the stadium is just a few blocks away), the place is all about the country's passion for the sport, the fanatism... More

The La Boca area is know for its colorful building built by Italian immigrants in the early 1900s. It is now a well-known tourist attraction. For us it was worth the cab ride from Palermo to take a walk along brightly colored area and have lunch at one of the restaurants that feature tango shows. It seems to me that... More
