La Boca, Buenos Aires
Alive with the sound of tango music, La Boca embodies the energy of South America. Also known as the birthplace of tango, this former shipyard has a popular walkway, the Caminito, where you can see tango dancers perform and artists show off their work. The area maintains a solid European quality.
Its early settlers originated from the Italian city of Genoa. The colorfully painted zinc shacks come from the 1800s when immigrants coming into the port used leftover nautical paint to liven up the barrio. They love the bright and vibrant colors in South America, so houses are adorned with Yellow, pink, bright green, and bright blues.
