Take a responsible city tour of La Boca, and explore what is, without a doubt, one of the most visited tourist destinations of Buenos Aires, including Caminito, its emblematic street that serves as the backdrop for some of the most famous images of the city. Traditional tours to this area tend to concentrate mostly on this colorful street and not much else. The truth is that few travelers manage to understand the real essence of La Boca, but with a socially responsible tour, you will.
Explore a different side of La Boca through a socially responsible tour that focuses on the community’s lifestyle, its drawbacks and conflicts, and its social, cultural and environmental projects. The city tour of “La Boca Beyond Caminito” includes classic tourist destinations and places of interest such as Caminito and Boca Juniors Stadium; yet, the tour invites you to go one step further by learning about the neighborhood’s rich history and present socio-economic situation through exchanges with locals. The guides are specially trained to act as “interpreters” between the tour participants and local residents.
Find out what lies beyond Caminito; book this sustainable city tour today, and take home a truly authentic experience of La Boca.
HOW THIS TOUR MAKES A DIFFERENCE
This tour supports the sustainable development of organizations that work to improve the quality of life for residents of the Buenos Aires barrio known as La Boca, by distributing the benefits of tourism more equally throughout the neighborhood. It supports the efforts of a work cooperative that employs young adults, whose profits are used for the training, education and mentoring of La Boca’s children and adolescents.
