Share a maté with the locals

lt;p>A typical infusion from <b>Argentina, </b><b><em>maté </em></b><b>is above all an excuse for meeting and sharing</b>. This drink is prepared in a gourd called <em>bombilla</em> by pouring hot water over <em>yerba maté,</em> a herb that grows near streams at medium altitudes. Enjoy the beverage with a metal straw that also acts as a filter. Usually, the <em>maté </em>consumed by Argentines is bitter and not sweet. The habit of enjoying hot or cold drinks <b>can vary,</b> depending on the region. </p><p>When you are invited to drink <em>maté </em>with Argentines, you will share the same gourd, which is passed in a circle among the guests in a counter-clockwise direction to go against time. The tasting can be accompanied by <em>facturas, </em>which are typical pastries or preceded by an <em>asado</em>, the Argentine barbecue.</p><p>If you wish to experience this ritual, some of our local agencies can offer the opportunity to learn how to prepare <em>maté </em>and <em>empanadas</em> with an Argentine family. This is <b>the ideal opportunity for meeting the local people and for immersing yourself in their culture</b>.</p>
