Caminito, La Boca

Caminito, La Boca

Caminito is a short, colorful street in the La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires, where every building is painted in bright reds, blues, yellows, and greens. It is an open-air museum filled with art, music, and dancing.

People love Caminito because tango dancers twirl right on the sidewalk and artists sell colorful paintings everywhere. It is one of the most cheerful and photo-friendly spots in the whole city.

Colorful Houses

Long ago, dock workers painted their tin houses with leftover ship paint, using whatever colors they had. That is why the walls are a happy rainbow of mismatched colors today.

Tango Dancing

Tango is a graceful, dramatic dance that was born in these very streets of Buenos Aires. Dancers in fancy outfits perform for visitors, and sometimes they invite you to try a step or two.
