La Boca - Cosmopolitan Neighborhood
here everything can be seen icon of this so peculiar zone of Buenos Aires.

The Mouth of the Creek (La Boca del Riachuelo) has the particularitity to have two points one of the other and both with the same name closely together... Nicholas Avellaneda.

Its length overall is of approximately 1600 mts. and be far 50 mts. of the old transporter bridge that dates from 1914, whose colossal structure and solid appearance are worthy to be contemplated by its lines of undeniable aesthetic suggestions. For this reason one became the heraldic sign, identifier of La Boca.

In addition it has been incorporated to all pictorial attempt of the Brook (like for example to many pictures of Quinquela Martin) and to the impact of whichever photographic objective, also builds not only of the hands of innumerable tourists but of the Buenosaireans (portenios).
