La Boca has an awesome culture - mainly old school Argentine including Tango. The houses are very brightly coloured as the old habitants mainly worked in the shipping yards and would build their houses out of the left over wood from ships... hence the reason they are multi-coloured. Try out a local bakery tango bar. Argentine's are mad on football, and the stadium in La Boca is home to one of the local football teams. Competition is fierce between the teams and some argy-bargy can occur!! Awesome atmosphere though!!

Traditionally, La Boca is the working class/ship building/meat packing district and rumor has it it can still be a bit rough. However, the colorful homes are really cheery and give this section of the city a distinct character. Tango runs rampant here and there are a number of touristy cafes and souvenir shops. I visited on a bicycle tour, which I though was a great way to get in with a guided tour!

If you like the argentinian tango, you will certainly enjoy the street dancers in La Boca, BSAS. Besides the tango, this part of the city is also known by its very colorful houses. And the people in the BSAS, of course. Just great!!
