The Sights and Sounds of Caminito in Buenos Aires

Caminito is a very small touristy area located within Barrio La Boca. Caminito is also known for its tango and street performers. Be aware that Caminito is catered to tourists and prices of goods are much higher than in other neighborhoods of Buenos Aires, Argentina. This attraction is basically like the Hollywood Blvd Walk of Fame of Buenos Aires which locals avoid like the plague.

I would recommend coming to Caminito in La Boca just to see it one time. You probably don’t want to come here again after you’ve already seen it because it’s so far away from the center of town and it’s in a rough neighborhood.
