Quick and easy! Try it! 😊
We walked in and were able to sit down with a guide within 15 minutes. Lucky us! Virginia shared the history and culture of mate with Argentina pride 😊. We learned a lot and got to try our first proper mate. Great experience!

Great Time Learning at Yerba Mate Club
Our party of six English-speakers had a day off from the Falls and wished to experience some culture. We also were curious about the dedication behind all the mug and thermos toting folks we saw during our week plus adventure in beautiful Argentina so we found the Yerba Mate Club. We stopped in the shop which is easily located in the Centro area and were informed by the shop they had a 2pm experience for English speakers. We came back and were seated in a back room and were giving a spectacular and thorough tour of the Yerba mate plant and its use. The guide of this experience, Gianela (pardon for any misspelling), was caring and excited about helping us understand Yerba mate. She apologized for not being great at English however she was great and patient as we asked questions and used Google Translate to clarify. Such a cool experience and a warm and caring person! We learned a lot, got to practice some of the mate culture by trying each other’s Yerba types and bought supplies there. I would highly recommend this store, and specifically Gianela, for an experience you will value if you are interested in Yerba mate and this unique culture piece. Cheers!

Excellent presentation by Gianella!
We had an excellent experience learning about how to enjoy mate with Gianella today! We are looking forward to bringing this experience back to Wisconsin! She was very detailed in offering the history and instructions on how to prepare this drink that was a bit of a mystery before we took the class; we were so grateful to have this opportunity offers by the Yerba Mate Club, thanks!

Why this scores 79

Ultimate Yerba Mate Tasting and Ritual Workshop in Iguazu: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Puerto Iguazu.
How much does Ultimate Yerba Mate Tasting and Ritual Workshop in Iguazu cost?
+
Prices start at $6 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Puerto Iguazu usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Ultimate Yerba Mate Tasting and Ritual Workshop in Iguazu take?
+
Plan for about 0.7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Puerto Iguazu is not rushed.
Is Ultimate Yerba Mate Tasting and Ritual Workshop in Iguazu worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 41 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Puerto Iguazu, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Ultimate Yerba Mate Tasting and Ritual Workshop in Iguazu?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Ultimate Yerba Mate Tasting and Ritual Workshop in Iguazu suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ultimate Yerba Mate Tasting and Ritual Workshop in Iguazu?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Puerto Iguazu can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Puerto Iguazu and add a light layer if any part of the 0.7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ultimate Yerba Mate Tasting and Ritual Workshop in Iguazu start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Puerto Iguazu within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Puerto Iguazu?
+
On Outty we rank every Puerto Iguazu experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Small group Falls Both Sides - Argentina and Brazil, The private Iguazu Falls Tour Brazil, Argentina in 1 day, Argentine Experience: Immersive Dinner & Wine Pairing in Iguazú. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Puerto Iguazu?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Puerto Iguazu?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
