La Boca & Caminito – The old part of the wharf. You have to take a taxi to get there. Starting at the beginning of the Caminito, a colorful cobblestone street lined with crafts and paintings for sale you can explore the area during daylight. The neighborhood is loaded with fondas, traditional bar and restaurants. Get there for lunch. The surroundings are old and there is really not much to see but here you do feel transported to foregone times. A visit to Museo de la Boca, the Museo Naval and the many antique stores found at every turn tells a tale of European immigrants arriving at this very spot to help build this nation to its past grandeur. The Stadium of La Bombonera, within walking distance is the home of the famous Boca Juniors soccer team.
