At Mater we always search for alternative activities to those usually chosen by large groups of tourists so that you can have more intimate and authentic experiences, without missing out on the most emblematic places in Argentina.

You’ll also kayak in a calm river surrounded by green landscapes. You’ll have a local bilingual guide with remarkable knowledge about nature and culture in the area.
