Buenos Aires - Exciting South American City and Cruise Ship Port of Call

La Boca is one of Buenos Aires' most colorful districts. Italian immigrants were the first settlers of La Boca, and the working class neighborhood was Buenos Aires' first port. Today the buildings in the barrio are painted in bright colors. We wandered down the famous pedestrian street of La Caminito, which was named for a popular tango song. Many local artists were selling their wares, while others danced the tango for the many visitors.

One word of caution -- all the guidebooks caution tourists to visit La Boca during daylight hours or to be sure and stay only in the La Caminito area.
