A Bohemian district called La Boca!
La Boca is a very vibrant and colorful place with a Bohemian touch in Buenos Aires. Best to visit during the day for safety reason. Stroll around this colorful area for lots of photo opportunities. Every corner is a great photo corner.
There are cafes and restaurants along the areas and the highlight is definitely the colorful buildings as an art inspiration. Lookout for snatch thieves though and do not wear expensive jewelry. Do not cross over to Barracas area as it is not safe. Tango dancers will try all means to approach you for photos with them for a specific amount of money. Be sure to negotiate the best price. Try one of the many food stalls or restaurants such as the Chotipan, meat sausages and the steaks are to die for!

#tripaway Blue collar and raffish to the core, La Boca is very much a locals’ neighborhood. Its colorful shanties are often portrayed as a symbol of Buenos Aires, while El Caminito is the barrio’s most famous street, full of art vendors.
La Boca is a neighborhood, or barrio of the Argentine capital, Buenos Aires. It retains a strong Italian flavour, with many of its early settlers being from the city of Genoa. In this neighborhood lives the most popular freestyler of Argentina named Trueno but his real name is Mateo Palacios Corazzina. #buenosaires #argentina #southamerica

Buenos Aires, a city with a high ratio of artists per capita
For the colorful houses, the home stadium of Boca Juniors, and the live tango shows, it's even better on a sunny day. I met so many artists and envied them, wishing to start something of my own. It feels like it's been a long time since I last spoke English, haha. I passed by a park where there was a flea market (clothes, appliances, etc.). I checked in at another filming location of 'Happy Together'. Today was truly a city walk, crossing several districts. I saw a university that looked very much like a museum (I don't know what it is, seems like xx Polytechnic Institute) and UCA (Universidad Católica Argentina, the most prestigious private university in Argentina). The location is really good.

Primavera Sound is coming, let's enjoy Argentina together!
Date: 2023/11/25-11/26
Location: PARQUE SARMIENTO
The highlight of November in Argentina, the Primavera Sound festival arrives as scheduled. Come to Buenos Aires to join this grand event. This ancient yet youthful city is worth your exploration. Let's see which attractions are a must-visit when you come here!
1. Plaza de Mayo
Plaza de Mayo was born in the same era as the city of Buenos Aires, constructed in 1580. The predecessor of Plaza de Mayo was the 'Great Plaza' or 'Victory Plaza', which records various historical and political periods and movements in Argentina over hundreds of years.
2. La Boca District
Since the mid-19th century, Spanish and Italian immigrants settled in the La Boca district. Since most of them were engaged in the beef processing and transportation industries, they painted their homes with the leftover paint from the construction of transport ships, which has resulted in the colorful La Boca district of today. The houses here are passionately colorful and have a strong artistic atmosphere, making them perfect for photography.
3. Casa Rosada
Casa Rosada (The Pink House), also known as the Presidential Palace, is located on the eastern side of Plaza de Mayo and is a Spanish-style pink building. In 1873, President Sarmiento painted the Presidential Palace pink because red was the color of the Federalists at the time, and white was the color of their opposition. The two colors together became pink, symbolizing the unity of various political factions.
On November 25th, let's welcome the Primavera Sound festival in the southern hemisphere's season and feel the joy with the locals in the atmosphere of music!

Traveling in Argentina - About the exciting part of the Boca neighborhood in Buenos Aires, let's talk about the unknown department here. The
Boka neighbourhood has a lot of distinctive graffiti, and it is also a collection center around the world. Why do you say that? It is surrounded by restaurants and sing-along bars for tourists from all over the world. From its history, it is not the aborigines who live here, most of them come from other countries. There is another saying here.

In the old slums, the famous tourist spot
Boka area is now widely circulated in its colorful colors and the breeding star "Maradona". The hh/19th century is mainly where Spanish and Italian immigrants are stationed. In the spare time, I will build the transportation vessel's excess paint to paint my own residence. Because of the poverty, the color here can be said to be nothing. From the beginning, it is a colorful appearance
not far from the city center. It takes about 20 minutes by taxi. Can arrive, it is recommended not to arrive at noon, there is no good photo under the strong light
in the process of playing, it is strongly recommended to be optimistic about their camera, even if it becomes a tourist area, the law and order here is not good enough for the person With property security, please be cautious
