El Cabana / Buenos Aires

Just standing around fun, funky, colorful "La Boca Caminito"

Wall carving at entrance to the "tourist trap" filled with second-rate shops

Tourists swarm to historic rainbow of houses

A mime on the street, home of professional tango dancers

"Little Walkway" of shops has life-size cartoon statues

Characters hang from the balconies and rooftops

Stylized and sensual dance tangueros twirl on streets

A gaucho dance is performed at this outdoor cafe

Italian immigrants spruced up their corrugated homes with bold paintings

La Boca neighborhood has mostly broken-down buildings

Slum neighborhood was once home to many artists

Gritty riverfront needs extensive renovation!
