La Boca means 'mouth' and its name derives from a rivulet that flows into the Rio de la Plata. Although this is one of the most picturesque neighbourhoods of the city, it is also the poorest and roughest part of central Buenos Aires and I was advised not to come here alone and certainly not at night due to the high crime rate.
