BUENOS AIRES

Caminito La Boca

Caminito is undoubtedly the most colorful neighborhood in Buenos Aires. La Boca is a favorite place for artists and creatives, and many take their art to the street, decorating balconies and patios.

 

The name Caminito is also the name of a tango, whose author is the famous Carlos Gardel, which tells of a love affair.

 

An unmissable place to visit is the Caminito Street Museum. A colorful pedestrian area that has functioned as an open-air museum and art market since 1959.

 

Painted with a mosaic of colors, this string of bright, photogenic buildings offers crafts, sculptures and free outdoor tango demonstrations.

 

The Museo de Artes Decorativas de Quinquela Martín, a more formal museum to visit, has an excellent collection of works by notable 20th century Argentine artists, ideal for learning more about the history of art in Argentina.
