La Boca is where the immigrant story of Buenos Aires comes alive. Once a bustling port where Italian, Spanish, and other immigrants docked in search of opportunity, its colorful houses were originally painted with leftover ship paint. Each hue tells a tale of resilience and creativity, embodying the resourcefulness of its earliest inhabitants. Wander the iconic Caminito street, a living museum of art and music, as you soak in stories of the port’s economic significance and its transformation into an artistic haven.
