About this experience
Paint your mate cup and learn all about it. This is your opportunity to try mate like a local, paint one of them and discover the most traditional Argentinian pastries.
The Mate is a traditional South American caffeine-rich infused herbal drink that we drink everyday, but hard to find for tourists. You can't order it on bars, restaurants, or cafés. So this is your chance!
You will take home with you the taste of mate, a souvenir painted with your own hands, cultural knowledge, and the joy of have been sharing a moment with your friends and family.
