Mate (pronounced mah-teh) is the national beverage of Argentina. It is made by steeping leaves of yerba mate in hot water. Mate contains caffeine, and people here commonly drink it in the afternoon.
Coastal sand dunes are special ecosystems, providing habitat for unique plants and animals. People can enjoy sand dunes, but we need to protect them, too! I visited some sand dunes in Puerto Madryn.
