This is an open air street-museum that recreates
the typical conventillos (housing projects) of
the early La Boca neighborhood. Today, you can
permanently enjoy a wide variety of exhibitions
formed by national and foreign artists. Originally,
this footpath, of almost 100 meters long, was
part of the Ensenada railway station. Then, it
became one of the most interesting sightseeing
areas in Buenos Aires city. Every weekend, tango
shows are offered by professional
tango dancers and singers. You can also visit
a handicraft market.
As time went by, traditional artists started to provide the walls with bas-reliefs and mosaics together with statues, friezes and tablets. Thus, in 1959, Caminito became the first pedestrian museum in the world, with no pavements or gates.
