During the wedding, held in the hotel's gazebo, he receives the call from his sister Gina (Sol Estevanez), communicating the heart attack suffered by his father, Armando (Rodolfo Bebán), with whom Rocco maintains a distancing since discovering the double life he had with Lili (Silvia Kutika), the sister of her mother's best friend, who committed suicide after learning of her husband's betrayal.

Rocco travels to Buenos Aires, full of contradictions, especially regarding who was the great love of his life, Malena Menéndez (Carina Zampini), Lili's niece, whom he abandoned because he considered her wrong, accomplice of the infidelity that unleashed his mother's suicide. Malena, at this time, has married Fernando (Matías Desiderio), with whom she had a son, Tomás. But Fernando fled eight months ago from their lives, due to gambling debts he contracted and led him to suffer threats. The reunion between Rocco and Malena will soon take place, so that they both rediscover the passion that is still alive between them.

Vitto (Mariano Martínez), is the youngest son of an extramarital relationship that Armando Colucci lived with Lili. He is a womanizer type of person, who works in the moving company. He will fall in love with Pía (María Eugenia Suárez), a young woman rebelled to the upper class in which she cradled, who will appear accidentally in her life.

On the other hand, Ángel (Juan Darthés) is Amanda's son (Betiana Blum), is a type of good feeling that is a taxi driver by trade, a vocation singer and a "almost doctor" by profession. Ángel will meet Gina, with whom he will live a passionate love.

Production and airing
The lead actors of Camino al amor are Sebastián Estevanez and Carina Zampini, the same lead actors of the 2012 telenovela Dulce amor. With their work, the telenovela tries to keep the fans of their previous work. Rodolfo Bebán and Betiana Blum are another couple, both are senior actors with prolific careers. Mariano Martínez and María Eugenia Suárez are usually associated with telenovelas from Pol-ka rather than Telefe, and were selected to get a portion of their regular audience.

The premiere of the telenovela had 22.1 rating points. However, as Telefe airs four telenovelas in the prime time (Somos Familia, Camino al Amor, the Brazilian Avenida Brasil, and Sres. Papis), it is aired in episodes of half an hour. Sebastián Estevanez commented that short episodes may be inadvisable for the early stages of a telenovela, when it is trying to establish the story and attract an audience, whereas Avenida Brasil may suffer less from it because it was airing their last ones. Carina Zampini commented that the production was asking for episodes of a complete hour. Avenida Brasil ended the Argentine airing on July 7, and Camino al Amor was expanded to a full hour after that.

Iternacional Location
The scenes of Mexico were recorded in Cancun, where the support of the Office of Visitors and Conventions of Cancun and the Hotel Paradisus Cancun Resort, of the hotel chain Meliã Hotels International. The Management Driver, Antonio Torres Avila, was responsible for interpreting the Priest who married them at the Hotel.
