This is not a standard tourist tour; it’s an anthropological exploration of one of Buenos Aires’s most iconic and contradictory neighborhoods.

Who were the immigrants who built La Boca, and who are its inhabitants today? How did Club Atlético Boca Juniors become a global phenomenon? How has gentrification and tourism changed the neighborhood’s identity? Join us for a walk that will change how you see Buenos Aires. Book your spot now and uncover the story behind the postcard!

About Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires is Argentina's elegant, passionate capital, a city of grand boulevards, tango halls, leafy barrios and late-night steak dinners.
The Plaza de Mayo, framed by the pink Casa Rosada and the Metropolitan Cathedral, is the historic heart of the city, and the vast Avenida 9 de Julio leads to the Obelisk. The Teatro Colón, one of the great opera houses, and the grand cafés of Avenida de Mayo recall the city's golden age.
