La Boca and the Caminito (The Mouth and the Way)

With a great majority of flights into Argentina landing in Buenos Aires, it is more than likely that you will spend some time in this fantastically European capital city. There is a lot to see and do in Buenos Aires, and the Argentina Gringo wants to make sure you don’t miss the highlights.

The neighborhood of La Boca, on the southern side of the city, is a great place to explore. It is full of colorful buildings and houses, as well as many excellent tango clubs and taverns/restaurants. One of the best soccer clubs in the world is based here, La Boca Ar1Juniors. If you happen to be in town while they are playing try to head to la Bombonera stadium to see a game; they are absolutely out of this world.

La Boca is also known for its open air museum of sorts, located on the main street of Caminito. The streets are lined with numerous sculptures, photographs, handicrafts, and other artwork on display and for purchase. Adding to the entertainment value are tango singers and dancers performing on the street side. This hotspot is gringo-filled, but it is a must see in Buenos Aires. More highlights to come… stay tuned!
