A guampa is a traditional drinking vessel commonly used in South America, particularly in countries like Argentina and Paraguay. It is typically made from the horn of an animal, such as a cow, and is often used to serve beverages like mate, a popular herbal tea. The guampa is valued for its unique shape and ability to enhance the drinking experience. In addition to its practical use, the guampa is often intricately decorated, showcasing local craftsmanship and cultural significance. It is usually paired with a metal straw called a bombilla, which allows drinkers to enjoy the beverage while filtering out the leaves.
