Experience Details

We open the doors to live a very intimate and everyday custom of Argentines: drinking mate. It’s not a tourist thing, it’s part of daily life, and that’s what we share with you. In a few minutes, you’ll discover the cultural significance of mate, learn how to prepare and taste it. It is a break, guided by a local person, that connects you to the heart of Buenos Aires in a simple and authentic way. We give you a matte and individual bulb for you, it is not shared. We are located in Buenos Aires

What You’ll Experience

In this Mate Break in Buenos Aires you will immerse yourself in one of the most authentic and daily rituals of Argentine culture. I learned how to prepare mate step by step like we do at home: how it is put together, what elements are used, the secrets, and why we always share it with others. As you try it, you will learn about the history of mate, its place in Argentine life and the differences with how it is taken in Uruguay or Paraguay. Although traditionally mate is shared among several people, in this experience each participant will have their own individual mate, so you can enjoy it in total comfort and hygiene, maintaining the spirit of the ritual without losing authenticity. This Buenos Aires experience is perfect if you want to live something local, real and fast. You won’t find it in a coffee shop, because mate is shared with friends or family, and that’s exactly what we invite you to do! Ideal for adding to your Buenos Aires tour without taking up too much time. You leave with new flavors, stories... and want to prepare your own mate wherever you go!
