Who are we?

MATER Sustentable was born from a dream: that tourism can be an opportunity to value local culture, community, and solidarity economies and respect for the environment.

We work with travel agencies around the world. We receive travelers who pursue the project of knowing Argentina in a responsible way, getting involved in every step, so they can get to live an authentic experience.

We design and organize travel services and circuits according to the principles of sustainability, offering genuine experiences.

We promote respect for gender diversity and inclusion in the different spaces where we interact.

Our work areas: Mater.Travel, ViajaRSE, La Matera Turística, Network Tourism & Volunteering.

Mater.Travel is part of Grupo Mater

Our team

In 2013, the MATER Sustainable DNA was born. We created a wholesale travel company driven by the passion that was brewing in us from an early age thanks to the accompaniment and enthusiasm of our uncle Pedro.

Together with him, we discovered the commitment to travel, revaluing local and environmental identities, finding in the tourist activity an opportunity to be true agents of social change. We decided to study tourism and deepen the activity not only as our personal but also professional lifestyle.

From the beginning, colleagues interested in sustainability and tourism joined the MATER team. Today we are accompanied by experts in various disciplines, with whom we achieve the visibility of sustainable tourism, offering genuine travel experiences, supporting local communities, promoting cultural exchange, and protecting the environment.
