Caminito
Caminito is a famous 150-meter open-air street museum and pedestrian alley located in the La Bocaneighborhood of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The alley is lined with bright, multicolored zinc and wood houses (conventillos) that reflect the area’s history as a late 19th-century immigrant port settlement. Residents originally painted them with leftover ship paint.
Plaza de Mayo

The square is framed by some of the nation’s most important buildings, including the iconic Casa Rosada (the presidential pink palace famous for its historic balconies), the stunning Catedral Metropolitana (holding the mausoleum of General San Martín), and the historic Cabildo.
