Curator’s statement
La Boca is known for its colorful, vibrant houses, tango and above all, soccer! Yes, It can get crowded and feel like a tourist trap, but a trip to Buenos Aires would not be complete without a day-trip to this colorful neighborhood. If Buenos Aires is the “Paris of South America,” then La Boca is Paris with a Caribbean twist. It truly sets this neighborhood apart.
