La Boca is one of the many barrios or neighborhoods in Buenos Aires. It is famous for two reasons, the first of which is its soccer team Boca juniors. Boca juniors is not just any soccer club, the great Diego Maradona played for it. And if you want to get up close and personal with the Boca juniors, come to La Bombonera stadium and watch a live game.

La Boca is also known for this street, Caminito street, a beautiful, multi-colored area. The original residents were Italian immigrants with limited means, who used left over materials from the harbor to build these houses. To beautify the neighborhood, they used left over paint from the ships and boats. This area is generally pretty active, attracting artists, musicians and, of course, outside visitors.
