La Boca

La Boca is a section of Buenos Aries, Argentina that is known for its colorful buildings and its artist community. It was settled and built up by Italian immigrants along a waterway lined with meat-packing plants and warehouses.

The Caminito is a popular pedestrian walkway that takes it name from a popular tango song. The artist colony is a legacy of the late local painter Benito Quinquela Martín.
