The Mate Laranjeira Company Historical Museum is usually open from Tuesday to Sunday. We recommend checking the latest hours on its Google Maps listing before your visit. To get there, you can use a private vehicle or public transportation to Lake Ypacaraí.

Admission to the Mate Laranjeira Company Historical Museum usually has a symbolic fee that helps support the maintenance of the site. For accurate information about current prices, we suggest contacting the museum administration directly or checking recent updates on its available information channels.

To fully enjoy the historical richness of the Mate Laranjeira Company Historical Museum, we recommend allowing between 1 and 2 hours. This will give you enough time to explore its exhibits and take in the information at a relaxed pace.

The Mate Laranjeira Company played a fundamental role in Paraguay’s economic and social history, especially in the production and export of yerba mate in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This museum tells the story of its impact, its processes, and the lives of the communities connected to this industry.

For a more pleasant experience, we recommend visiting the museum during Paraguay’s cooler months (April to September) or early in the morning to avoid the intense heat. A weekday may also be quieter than the weekend.

Accessibility for people with reduced mobility may vary in historic buildings. It is advisable to contact the museum directly at +595 XXXXXXX or check its website or social media before your visit to learn about the available accommodations.

Near the museum, you can enjoy beautiful Lake Ypacaraí, perfect for boat rides or relaxing on its shores. You can also explore the city of San Bernardino, known for its resorts and summer atmosphere, or visit the La Estación Cultural Center in Areguá, famous for its art and crafts.

I suggest wearing comfortable shoes, bringing a bottle of water, and, if you want to explore in greater depth, carrying a notebook for notes. Don’t forget your camera to capture the moments, but always ask whether flash photography is allowed inside the exhibits.
