About La Boca by day
Start at Caminito and the old port on the Riachuelo, look in at the Fundación PROA, then walk to La Bombonera and its museum. The Usina del Arte, a former power station, is a short way along. Come by taxi, keep to the main streets, and leave before dark.
Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with La Boca by day before you go.
