Calle Lanin, Barracas
A more colorful Caminito, without the hordes of tourists
Calle Lanín is a beautiful little street in the barrio of Barracas, in the south of Buenos Aires. If you are going to La Boca to see the colorful and historical Caminito Street, then you might also consider taking the time to explore some of the neighboring barrio of Barracas, where you will find the quieter, shady, yet extremely colorful Lanín. (Go during the day, it’s safer for tourists than after dark). The murals there, created in the year 2000 by local artist Marino Santa María (who actually lives on this street), are definitely worth the trip to take a look.
Being such a colorful street, the best way to give you an idea of what Lanín street is like is with some photos…

I loved the photos. I need to go to Boca again to visit the Lanin street…
Hi! Thank you for uploading these pics. I spent my childhood in Barracas and Avellaneda (now am living in Germany) and it really touches me to see pics from this street.
Last time i visited Buenos Aires didn’t see the Lanin street; next time will pay a visit.
Thanks a lot!

We’ll be in BA Thurs. Feb. 14 and would love to book you for a tour, if possible. We’re staying at the Hotel Etoile in Recoleta. I wish I’d known what great tours you give sooner!

i like the pictures you took in lanin street, very different from what we all know about streets. more power to you!!
Yes Buenos Aires seems to be a really fantastic city to take a visit!
Your photos are really wonderful 🙂
I was curious and now I’m glad to see your nice website and the pictures in it. I live in B.A. but I didn’t know Lanin street. I’m part of a trio that was invited to play at Ingrata Bar the 27th.
I just put up some photos about Calle Lanin.
