As a curiosity, chimarrão or mate is a characteristic drink of southern South America bequeathed by indigenous cultures. The Guarani Indians, in the 16th century, discovered the herb and passed this knowledge on to the Spaniards who spread this habit throughout the state.
The yerba mate (Ilex Paraguaiensis) is considered, according to law 7,439, of December 8, 1980, the symbol tree of Rio Grande do Sul.
In this station we offer a gourd, a bomb, and three options of yerba mate (pura-leaf, coarsely ground and traditional) for lovers of a good mate.
“It is in the silence of mate that we find warmth for the soul…”
