A place worth knowing

La Perla has occupied its corner at the entrance to Caminito since 1882. Inside, timber ceilings and furniture share the room with painted signs, tango photographs and objects that connect the café with La Boca’s history.

Give the interior a little attention before heading back to the street. This officially recognised Bar Notable works well as a pause during a La Boca walk, with the neighbourhood’s painted facades just outside.
