Argentina is a real football nation, so any tourist will want to not miss the chance to buy a football uniform.

Another popular souvenir is Gaucho knives. These knives have been used by the Gauchos for centuries and are known for their versatility in tasks such as cooking, cleaning horse hooves, and cutting firewood. With distinctive wooden handles, these knives combine practicality and style for a one-of-a-kind gift.
The most favorite drink in Argentina is mate, and you will find people enjoying it from their unique cups. Although mate looks like tea, in Argentina it is more than just a drink, it is an integral part of their culture. Friends would often get together and pass one cup around as a common meeting practice.

Made from parsley, garlic, oregano, and red wine vinegar, the sauce has a spicy and refreshing flavor that is sure to enhance the taste of any dish.
