About

We will delve into the past and present of this vibrant district, from its origins as a gritty port town for millions of immigrants to its current status as a world-famous, Instagrammable attraction. Be prepared to do more than just listen; this is an interactive experience where you are encouraged to ask questions, share your perspectives, and discuss the fascinating forces that have shaped La Boca.
Who were the immigrants who built La Boca, and who are its inhabitants today?...
