www.ba-h.com.ar Caminito, La Boca, Buenos Aires This traditional porteño neighborhoo d of La Boca owes its name to the fact that it is the mouth (la boca) del Riachuelo (“Little River”). It owes its present appearance to the hundreds of nineteenth century Italian immigrants who arrived, mostly from Genoa. The bustling Buenos Aires port attracted them like a magnet. The “Conventillos” Since they had no place to live, the immigrants built “conventillos,” rustic dwellings shared by several families. Since they used whatever paint was left over after painting their boats, the sheet metal houses with their small doors and windows, combined many different colors, making La Boca one of Buenos Aires’ most picturesque neighborhoods. The “Caminito” The Caminito, the ” little street”, pays homage to the tango Caminito, composed by Juan de Dios Filiberto.
