These hammocks are made by a local artisan by hand in a variety of tropical colors in the long tradition of hammock makers on the island.
It is said the Taino Indians were the inventors of the hammock and the name, ‘hamaca’ is a Taino word. They are made of cotton, some of which is dyed bright colors. You cannot compare the comfort and beauty of a real Puerto Rican Hammock with the imported cloth variety sold in the shops and on the sides of the road. Considerably more expensive, the genuine cotton woven hammock is well worth the price.
