La Boca is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Buenos Aires, a working-class dockside barrio where the porteño culture was born.
Colorful houses, cobblestone streets and a vibrant atmosphere make La Boca a must-visit destination for any traveller to Buenos Aires. Caminito is the most popular street in the neighbourhood, but there are many hidden gems to discover on the back alleys and around the corner.
The neighbourhood is also home to the Boca Juniors, one of the most successful popular footbal clubs in Argentina. Boca Juniors is a symbol of the city of Buenos Aires and the club’s blue and yellow colours are synonymous with parts of the neighbourhood.
