The Boca District is located in Buenos Aires. In the mid-19th century, it was a settlement for Spanish and Italian immigrants who were mostly involved in beef processing and transportation industries. Therefore, they painted their houses in bright colors using leftover ship paint, creating a unique artistic atmosphere. The Boca District is also where Maradona's Boca Juniors team became famous and their home games are held at the famous Bombonera Stadium, located four blocks from Caminto Street Museum, which displays the glorious history of the team and other football achievements, making it a great experience for football fans. Additionally, the Boca District is one of the birthplaces of tango dancing.
Tourists must be aware that the security in the Boca District is very poor. Do not wander outside tourist attractions, especially at night. Even within tourist attractions, be sure to protect your personal belongings. Never venture to the slums on the other side of the river where the security situation is even more dangerous. Your safety is of utmost importance.
