“La Materita”, the weekly newsletter of Ruta del Mate
A meeting point to inspire us to travel more and better. A space for the exchange of travel experiences. Why weekly? Because we have to keep the focus on what is important: to travel, to distract us from everyday life, to encourage us to plan a getaway, to get to know a new place through an email and to be grateful for what we have known so far.
