Caminito, Street museum in La Boca, Argentina
The outdoor street museum extends for 100 meters, featuring multi-colored houses made of wood and metal sheets raised on pillars along the pathway.
The street follows a former stream's path where Italian immigrants from Genoa constructed their residences near the port during the late 1800s.
Local artist Benito Quinquela Martín initiated the transformation of this space in 1957, using bright colors to paint the building facades facing the street.
Visitors can watch tango performances, purchase artisanal products, and explore numerous restaurants serving traditional Argentine cuisine throughout the day.
The buildings incorporate remnants of ship paint from nearby dockyards, creating a distinctive color pattern that reflects the maritime heritage of La Boca.
