Tejo (Argentina)

Tejo is a traditional throwing game popular in Argentina, particularly in rural areas and among gauchos. It involves throwing a metal disc, also called a "tejo," towards a target, often a circle marked in the ground or a small platform. The objective is typically to land the tejo as close as possible to the target, or sometimes to knock the target out of place.

The game is often played socially, with friends and family competing in informal matches. While specific rules may vary regionally, the core concept of throwing the tejo at a target remains consistent. The size and weight of the tejo can also vary, adding to the strategic aspect of the game. Tejo is considered a part of Argentina's cultural heritage and is often featured in local festivals and celebrations.
