Things to do 2-Hour Historical Tour of La Boca with Specialist Historian

We invite you to a tour of one of the most visited neighborhoods by tourists. We will share with you the history of La Boca, place of the first foundation of the city and the first port of Buenos Aires. We will tell you the history of the port and the daily life of the immigrants. We will take you to visit tenement houses to understand the way of life of the porteños at the end of the 19th century. We will also share with you the history of the great artist Quinquela Martin and his relationship with the emblematic "Caminito", which would give the starting signal for the neighborhood to be filled with cheerful colors. We will tour the place where he grew up and the various buildings that the artist donated to the neighborhood of La Boca. In addition, we will tell you about one of the passions of the Argentines, soccer. We will continue the tour along the river to tell you about the transformation of the neighborhood in the historical context of 1880-1930 and Argentina as the "Granary of the world". We will visit the old ferry Nicolás Avellaneda to finish in one of the oldest notable bars of the city, where great porteño artists used to meet. The Roma bar. We are waiting for you!
