Its a place you do not need to spend time on it. Just a poor little street with a lot of begers and people selling junk. The neighborhood is actually a slum. More

This is a very typical place in Buenos Aires, it is nice and has a great atmosphere, but it is right in the middle of La Boca neighborhood, and it is really unsafe to go there at night and even during day its not recommended to leave the small area of el Caminito. More

Nice 3 to 4 streets with lots of souvenirs, beautiful and colourful buildings, Evita, Maradona and Tango scultures every corner. A nice way to spend an hour sightseing and then eat some classic italian food, but be aware of pickpockets, this area is located at La Boca! not a nice barrio if you for some reason go outside of Caminito.

Yes, this is a traditional spot to visit if you are in Buenos Aires. It is completely thought for tourists. If you stay on the Caminito Street, you will find a lot of history and tango. Don´t stray though as La Boca is a dangerous area (mostly as you can get robbed) More

It is really interesting to see how the houses were built, but the way I see it is that it is a short street that has become more of a place for the tourists to spend their money that an utterly cultural attraction. You should see it because it is part of "getting to know Buenos Aires", but there will... More

This road is a favorite. Old poor Italian neighbourhood famous for its street Caminito with its colourfully painted homes and it's Italian canteens. Italian immigrants quarters. Something really unique. More

It is for sure a beautiful and interesting place. But is is so short and in the middle of the ugliest neighborhood of Buenos Aires that I could't feel good for beign there. It is the kind of place made just to attract tourist for a unauthentic experience. Anyway, you still can get good photos there. More

When I arrived in Buenos Aires and only used guide books as my main port of knowledge, they all portrayed Caminito as a place you must visit when in BA as their covers were splashed with the multi-coloured houses. When I arrived in Caminito, I was amazed at how small the street was and the worst part was its Disney-esque... More
