Argentinian Mate Workshop in Puerto Iguazú

Have you ever experienced the unique flavor of yerba mate? Join us for a mate workshop in Puerto Iguazú, where you'll discover the art of preparing and savoring Argentina's iconic beverage.

Workshop Overview

We will meet at the designated time at number 103, avenida Misiones. After gathering, we'll make our way to a venue dedicated to celebrating Argentina's cherished drink.

The workshop will initiate with a full ritual, encompassing everything from setting up the necessary tools to that first delightful sip. You'll learn about the intriguing history and stories behind yerba mate, including its significance as a sacred drink among the Guarani community.

Once we've selected our ingredients, we'll prepare the container, which may vary in material from wood and gourd to steel. Following this, we'll focus on the bombilla, the metal straw used for filtering the infusion. We'll demonstrate how to clean it properly and ensure it's set for use without any disturbance during the preparation process.

Next, we will fill the mate with yerba mate and gently tilt it to achieve the ideal consistency. You'll learn the nuances of this process! It will then be time to introduce water into the mate—what is the perfect temperature? Is there a specific technique for pouring? We will guide you through each essential detail!

Finally, the moment we have all been waiting for: after a few final instructions, we will raise the bombilla to our lips and experience the rich flavors and invigorating effects of this beloved infusion among Argentinians.

As we wrap up this 30-minute journey, you will have the opportunity to take home the bombilla as a memorable keepsake. Until next time!
