Characterized by its high pavements, cobble-paved streets and colorful façades, La Boca stands out among the rest of the neighborhoods in Buenos Aires.
Its conventillos –old dwellings for immigrants– were built with sheet metal on timber piles and painted with the remains of paint from the boats that anchored on the coast of Buenos Aires, giving La Boca its distinctive lively colors.
Caminito in Boca Tango is an open air museum that recreates the old conventillos, with clothes hanging from the windows and all its picturesque characters, stories, dances and songs.
Come discover Boca Tango's "El Coventillo Viviente" and meet its noisy and cheerful tenants: The Tano (Spanish slang term for Italian), always singing songs; The Gallego (Spanish slang term for Spaniard), who repairs shoes; The Borracho (Spanish term for drunkard), constantly getting in everyone's way; while Fatiga (Spanish term for weary), secretly in love with beautiful Lulú, finds out that the fearsome Malevo (Spanish term for ruffian) forces her into prostitution to his profit. That is when Fatiga, torn by jealousy and loathing, challenges him to a duel of knives stirring up a kerfuffle in the conventillo and even scaring away the policeman who comes to settle things down.
Next to the conventillo, there is a different Buenos Aires: that of the opulence, the luxuries, the big halls and glorious nights. All this splendor unfolds at the Boca Tango Salón, where the vitreous Café and a French-style cabaret provide the setting for a magnificent Tango Show with dancers, singers and an orchestra performing live.
Here you can enjoy a drink while experiencing the authentic Tango Porteño.
Visit The Fonda, The Salón and the rooms of the conventillo, with their antique original objects and authentic collector's items, and discover every detail in Boca Tango.
