"This experience forced me, in a good way, to slow down. We weren’t rushing from sight to sight; we were standing under trees, assembling alfajores, and learning how to pour mate without making a mess. Sipping it in the Botanical Garden while hearing about the tradition behind it felt very calm and grounded..."

...It’s the kind of activity that doesn’t scream for attention, but stays quietly in your mind after the trip is over.
