Many travelers can’t imagine going anywhere without returning home with a bunch of souvenirs that remind them of their travels. If you’re planning a trip to Argentina, and fridge magnets and key chains simply aren’t your thing, here are some traditional souvenirs that you could buy instead.
Gaucho Knives
If you’re ready to invest in a valuable souvenir that you can only find in Argentina, these traditional knives will rock your world with their craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Mate Set
Mate is often used in place of tea, and it’s one of the traditional drinks you should try while in Argentina. You can buy some and bring it home for to your friends, or take things to a whole new level by getting your own mate set.
Tango Shoes
Tango is now danced in every corner of the world, but Argentina is still its birthplace. If you happen to be a huge fan of this dance, how about buying a new pair of tango shoes in the country of its origin?
Alfajores
Alfajores are basically biscuits sandwiches filled with dulce de leche, and they’re one of Argentina’s most popular sweet treats. You can take a box of alfajores back home with you if you want to treat yourself to a taste of Argentina or share it with your loved ones.
