Two Argentinian Gauchos resting in the field of an Estancia, surrounded by hides, hung out to dry on an old covered wagon. The gentleman in the foreground is drinking Mate, a traditional South American infused drink, prepared from steeping dried leaves of yerba mate (llex paraguariensis, known in Portuguese as erva mate) in hot water. Mate is served with a metal straw from a shared hollow calabash gourd
