Cần Quan Tâm
In this Mate Break in Buenos Aires, you’ll dive into one of the most authentic and everyday rituals of Argentine culture. Learn how to prepare mate step by step, just like we do at home: how to set it up, what tools you need, the little secrets, and why it’s usually something we share with others. As you taste it, you’ll also discover the history of mate, its role in Argentine daily life, and how it differs from the way it’s enjoyed in Uruguay or Paraguay. Even though mate is traditionally shared among several people, in this experience each participant will have their own personal mate cup and straw. That way, you can enjoy it comfortably and hygienically while still keeping the spirit of the ritual alive. This experience is perfect if you’re looking for something local, real, and short. You won’t find it in a coffee shop, because mate is something we share with friends or family, and that’s exactly what we invite you to do! It’s ideal to add to your Buenos Aires itinerary without taking too much time. You’ll leave with new flavors, stories… and the inspiration to prepare mate wherever you go!

5.00We had the most beautiful mate experience at Betty and Marcelo’s in Buenos Aires – truly something special. The experience is run by their daughter Veronica, and you can immediately feel how much heart she puts into it. She explains everything in such a warm, engaging way, from the history and cultural importance of mate in Argentina to the small rituals and social traditions around sharing it. What I loved most is that she doesn’t just talk about it, she really teaches you how to prepare mate properly. From choosing the yerba to filling the mate correctly and placing the straw, she walks you through every step with patience and passion. You leave not only having tasted mate, but actually understanding it. It’s the perfect experience before the asado, intimate, authentic, and incredibly welcoming. It feels like being invited into someone’s home to learn a meaningful tradition. Highly, highly recommend this to anyone wanting a genuine cultural experience in Buenos Aires!
Essential Argentine experience(s)

5.00This was a great introduction to the culture and process of mate drinking in Argentina, with information about other countries as well. Each guest gets to prepare and sample their own cup of mate, and a sweet treat is also provided to offset the bitterness of the mate. Veronica gave advice about purchasing mate, cups and straws, and discussed how Argentinians consume mate at home, at work, and at leisure. She is super personable and helpful. I highly recommend this experience, and if you want to also experience asado, they offer that as well—you can book both experiences for the same day, the mate is at 6 and asado at 7.
Great Mate experience
