La Boca, Buenos Aires
La Boca is the most colorful barrio in Buenos Aires. And the color extends beyond brightly tinted tin-roof buildings. Stroll the short yet vibrant Caminito Street, a pedestrian walkway cum outdoor museum. Observe artists. Take in a free tango show. Walk a few blocks to La Bombonera and, if your trip coincides with a Boca Juniors match, take in the “color” both in and out of the stadium.

When to Travel
While the weather in Buenos Aires is enjoyable year round the best time of year to visit is fall (March - May) and spring (September - November).

Things to Keep in Mind
It is best to avoid La Boca after dark. Calle Caminito is best visited on the weekend when the street is lined with artisans and tango performers.
