The Old Port Area of La Boca reflects the neighborhood’s maritime past and immigrant
history. This historic harbor zone once served as a key entry point for ships, workers,
and goods arriving in Buenos Aires.
Today, remnants of docks, warehouses, and riverfront structures remain as cultural
landmarks. The area provides scenic views of the Riachuelo River and insight into La
Boca’s working-class roots.
