Origin of the Hammock
The hammock is one of the oldest and most popular resting instruments in the Mayan region.
It is originated in Central American Caribbean countries, where it was widespread and represented the main piece of furniture in people’s homes.
Hundreds of years ago it arrived in the Yucatan Peninsula through Caribbean cultural expansion.
Hammocks are hand-made by local artisans weaving threads in the form of a net to make the body which hangs from two arms or extensions of unweaved threads.
Each arm ends in a wrist.
Types of Hammocks
The art of making hammock was improved in Yucatan by diversifying materials, forms and weaving patterns.
Installing your Hammock
Avoid tangling the threads when unpacking to avoid damaging the weave.
Fix your Hammock to two anchor points with at least 1,80 mts of hight and enough support up to 300 Kg.
Hammocks can be used inside rooms, on porches, at yards, terraces, at the beach or in the country.
