Located in the southern neighborhoods we will make our way to the legendary Boca Juniors stadium: La Bombonera. Passing through the neighborhood of Boca you’ll notice that the passion for football pulses down every street.
Inside La Bombonera we will visit the best seats in the stadium. This popular terrace holds the now mythical #12 jersey. We will get to tour the Boca Juniors locker room and finish with Diego Maradona’s Box.
After that we will visit the “Museo de la Pasión Boquense” (Boca’s Museum). It is here that we will get to learn about all of the players that have played for the club, about the history and evolution of the jersey, and visit the trophy room. After which we are treated to a film that will give us the perspective of a Boca player when they go out to the pitch.
