City of Salta: Alpaca and leather handicraft workshop in the open air!

Handcrafted Alpaca and Leather Workshop with Traditional Mate Experience in Salta

Join a 2-hour outdoor workshop at the Martín Miguel de Güemes monument, perfect for those interested in Argentine crafts and culture.

Experience Details

Meet outdoors near the San Bernardo hill for a hands-on workshop where you will learn embossing techniques using alpaca, a silver-like metal. Select a design meaningful to you and emboss it onto a metal piece, then attach it to a high-quality Argentine cowhide leather accessory. During the session, take part in the traditional Argentine mate ritual to understand one of the country's key cultural traditions.

In case of rain, the workshop moves to a nearby covered area to ensure the experience continues uninterrupted.
