Argentina Walking around la Boca

La Boca is a working-class neighborhood in Buenos Aires. It's known for its colorful houses. The area was the city's first commercial port. Its residents, immigrants of modest means, used leftover paint from ships to decorate their homes. This neighborhood was one of the birthplaces of the famous tango. It's also the origin of Argentina's two main football clubs, Boca Juniors and River Plate.

Easy to reach by local buses.
The heart of the neighborhood is well protected by tourist police. It's best not to stray too far.
