Mate Tasting - fun educational and tasty

Fun educational experience where we learned about mate, a regional drink. Learned how to make it, drink it, and appreciate the ritual. Taught by locals who willingly shared their suggestions for things to do and try during our stay.

Matte Tea Experience in Buenos Aires

Before going to Spain, I first stayed in Buenos Aires for a month and finally experienced the legendary Mate tea! The first drinking a little painful, but the more smooth the drink, the super. With the locals sitting around the park, turning in with the same cucumber to drink, the atmosphere is super warm, like a large circle.

Perfect way to experience the culture and meet people

I really enjoyed the experience. The team was very friendly and knowledgeable, so much about mate I didn't know and so much still to discover. The activity was well organized and I enjoyed everything.

Highly recommended experience! don't miss out

I attended the mate workshop at Vamos a few days ago, and honestly it ended up being one of my few real experiences in Buenos Aires since I was only in the city for a short time and I’m so glad I went. The host was fantastic: super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable, and great at explaining everything clearly. She guided the activity perfectly, answered every question, and made the whole workshop feel genuinely special. I learned a lot and had a great time as well. I’d definitely recommend it, e...read more
