By far the most colorful community in Buenos Aires, La Boca also
was the most tourist-oriented barrio we visited, at first blush a
Disneylandish version of itself with a host of gift shops, restaurants,
and tango performers. But just off the dozen or so blocks of the
touristic epicenter, past the yellow and blue La Bombonera soccer
stadium, are rough neighborhoods that are no-go zones for visitors,
especially after dark. In this place one has to be careful of the colors
you wear; here blue and gold identity fans of the hometown’s Boca
Juniors soccer team, intense rivals with the city’s other team, River,
whose colors are red, white and black.
