La Boca is a popular destination, with its colourful houses and pedestrian street, the Caminito, where tango artists perform . Other attractions include the La Ribera theatre, many tango clubs and Italian taverns.
As one of Buenos Aires's 48 barrios, La Boca is located in the city's south-east near its old port. The barrio of Barracas is to the west; San Telmo and Puerto Madero are to the north.
