La Boca is one of the most visited parts of Buenos Aires and offers tourists a glimpse of how the city looked during its "golden era" in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Indeed, La Boca, as the former main port, was instrumental in the city’s economic and population booms. The neighbourhood retains many fine examples of architecture from the time and is home to the Caminito open air museum and the famous Boca Juniors football club.

This audio narrated walking tour comes with a detailed tour route map and powerful navigation features to guide you from one tour sight to the next. Tour sights included in this application are:
