Tour description

La Boca is one of Buenos Aires’ most iconic neighborhoods, but behind its colors there is much more than tourist postcards.

On this walk, we explore the real history of the neighborhood:

the arrival of immigrants, the port, art, football, and how all of this shaped an intense, creative, and deeply porteño identity.

We talk about art, immigration, football, tango, politics, and everyday life, connecting places with the people and stories that made them meaningful.

What we’ll see

• Fundación Proa and the contemporary art scene

• Benito Quinquela Martín and La Boca’s artistic legacy

• The old Transbordador Bridge

• The Volunteer Firefighters of La Boca

• Boca Juniors and La Bombonera (outside)

• Caminito and its lesser-known stories

Why choose this tour

✔ Passionate and approachable local guides

✔ Clear, engaging storytelling

✔ Designed to help you understand Buenos Aires, not just see it

Highlights

What will we see on this tour?

Meeting point:

Maqueta Barrio La Boca ("Welcome to La Boca Mural")

We meet in front of Fundación Proa, at Av. Pedro de Mendoza 1929, in the La Boca neighborhood. The guide will be waiting on the sidewalk, holding the yellow Buenos Aires Horizon Tours umbrella, easy to spot.

Outside visit

Yellow House

A symbol of La Boca’s history and pride 💛. This bright yellow building is inspired by the house of Admiral Brown, the Irish-born founder of the Argentine Navy — and a true local hero here in the barrio.

Outside visit

La Boca Fire Department

This isn’t just a fire station — it’s a symbol of pride for La Boca. Run by local volunteers, it’s full of history, character, and stories of real heroes. If we're lucky, we might even get to peek inside. 🧯🚒

Outside visit

Alberto J. Armando Stadium- La Bombonera

Home of Boca Juniors and one of the most iconic football stadiums in the world. ⚽💙 Its steep stands and electric atmosphere have made it a symbol of Argentine passion. Even if you're not a fútbol fan, feeling the energy here is something you’ll never forget.
