Buenos Aires, La Boca colorful windows on corrugated wall
add to cart
The old port neighborhood of La Boca is painted with wild combinations of colors on every surface conceivable. The Italian immigrants that moved into the area used paint left over from painting their boats on the walls of their houses. It's where the Tango was born. The place is one of Buenos Aires' few tourist traps. Still, it can be a great photo spot.
