Exploring the vibrant and colourful city of La Boca!

Let’s head over to the vibrant neighbourhood of La Boca. Full of colourful buildings, papier-mâché figures and bustling market stalls - this place is full of life and energy. The houses in La Boca were built with wood and sheet metal painted with countless striking colors using paint leftover from the port, and the main centrepiece of the neighbourhood is Caminito. Look out for the many decorated buildings, murals and tango dancing taking place within the street, hidden amongst the markets that need to be visited. It’s worth noting that whilst generally ok in the daytime, La Boca has a reputation of being unsafe at night time. Keep your wits about you, keep an eye on your belongings and don’t go down any roads or alleys that look secluded. But as you long as you’re careful, you’re going to have a great time visiting this town! #argentina #southamerica #buenosaires #laboca

#tripaway Blue collar and raffish to the core, La Boca is very much a locals’ neighborhood. Its colorful shanties are often portrayed as a symbol of Buenos Aires, while El Caminito is the barrio’s most famous street, full of art vendors. La Boca is a neighborhood, or barrio of the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. It retains a strong Italian flavour, with many of its early settlers being from the city of Genoa. In this neighborhood lives the most popular freestyler of Argentina named Trueno but his real name is Mateo Palacios Corazzina. #buenosaires #argentina #southamerica #tripaway
