As a must-do in Buenos Aires, I went with Hillary and Jason
to El Caminito in Boca on their last
day. I had only been once when I visited
Buenos Aires in 2008. It was just the
same, if not more inundated by tourists and entertainers and waiters trying to
sell their version of tango. This is
where the city was founded and where tango originated. In all reality, it is a
very poor area of town with the buildings made of wood and tin and painted in
different colors (originally because there wasn’t enough paint of one color to
cover an entire building). El Caminito
is the 4 block area that is crowded with street cafes, tango dancers and
tourist shops.
