Honestly, it was a very lovely experience; it has many interesting facts about the history, and also very interesting things in the museum part. Then, during the tasting of herbs, I honestly give it a 10/10; I loved the explanation of the history of yerba mate. I highly recommend it; it is a beautiful experience.
Excellent experience to learn about the culture of mate! Very good service; it is totally worth it.
An absolutely amazing experience extremely educational with the history I learned so much the instructor Sol was extremely knowledgeable about how and where Mate originated from and why it was an extremely beautiful experience. I really enjoyed myself. The museum was absolutely beautiful and seeing the different types of mate cups a very unique experience definitely a must.
Great cultural experience! If you want to really understand why Argentines love matcha so much, this event is worth a visit. Easy, fun, and you can meet different travelers.
This was a wonderful experience! I learned so much. As a coffee drinker I need more water in my life-bur also still caffeine- so I'm going to take some home and investigate mate as a real option. Thank you!
Excellent explanation and attention from the sun.
This was an incredible experience. Sol was so knowledgeable, taught us about the Yerba and the culture surrounding the mate. Would absolutely do this experience again and specifically ask for her.
