Where did the Mexican Hammock originate?

Where did the Mexican Hammock originate?

Yucatan, MexicoIf you can think of Mexico as the shape of an elf’s shoe pointing to the right then Yucatan would be the toes. Whilst not many people would be able to point out the state of Yucatan on a map they would be quite familiar with one of Mexico’s most famous coastal towns – Cancun in the neighbouring state of Quintana Roo. Cancun is famous for its crystal clear waters, sandy beaches and beautiful weather. Cancun is a hot spot for travellers all around the world wanting to get away and sample a taste of paradise.

It is in this region the indigenous Mayans lived in peace and harmony with nature for many centuries and in many cases still do today. It is these Mayans that we owe our thanks for creating Mexican hammocks. This happened approximately 200 years before the Spanish conquest.

We are proud to be able to say that all of our hammocks and blankets our woven by the local Mayans who know how to make the best quality hammocks! All of our products help support the local communities and are hand crafted in a friendly orientated work environment. By this we mean the Mayan people are able to make the hammocks in their family surroundings which allow those with children to work from home and at a pace set by them.
