Calle Lanin, Barracas
Lanin 1 - 200 (between Brandsen and Suarez), Barracas
A more colorful Caminito, without the hordes of tourists
Calle Lanin is 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 Lanin. (Don’t try this at night, it’s not really a safe place for tourists to be after dark). The murals there, created in the year 2000 by local artist Marino Santa Maria (who actually lives on this street), are definitely worth the trip to take a look.
Unfortunately I’m still pretty tight for time at the moment, so probably the most efficient way to give you an idea of what Lanin street is like, and to spare you my boring waffle, is through posting up a few more photos. Click below to see them!

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!
