Buenos Aires Tourist Traps: 52 reviews and 36 photos
La Boca at the mouth of the river is just a huge tourist trap. The only locals there are there to sell to the tourists. It was hard to even walk around because of all the tour busses that were there. A local young lady we know said she was sorry to hear that as she had lovely childhood memories of La Boca and hadn't been there for years.
Unique Suggestions: Go early in the day before too many tour busses arrive.
Fun Alternatives: Try the weekend craft fair in the Plaza Francia instead. There are acres of booths with all sorts of arts and crafts.
