Mexican Maya XXL "Guacamaya" hammock: a unique weave

Handmade hammocks are among Mexico's best-known handicrafts. People use them to sit, rest or sleep. They have a symbolic value, as they originated in Mayan culture, where they were used for various rituals such as weddings, births and funerals. In Mexico, in the states of Yucatan and Chiapas, making a Mexican hammock is a craft activity considered one of the most commercially important. In the Yucatan, more specifically in the towns of Chemas, Chichimila, Tekom and Tixcacalcupul, hammocks are still made from henequen (agave), a highly resistant and long-lasting material.

Mexican hammocks: ancestral craftsmanship

Our Mexican hammocks are woven using an ancestral technique in the Chiapas region of southern Mexico, by families of craftsmen who perpetuate this know-how from generation to generation. Once used to make the first hammocks, Ixtle and Henequen fibers add a touch of history and authenticity to every hammock.

Choose a nylon XXL hammock

Our Queen Maya XXL "Guacamaya" hammock is made from 100% nylon, the same material used to make fishing nets. This means it can be used outdoors all year round. It can withstand extreme weather conditions such as frost, rain and sun. However, we recommend storing it under cover after use to ensure its longevity. For lovers of pure cotton hammocks, we recommend our partner brand Tropical Hamac.
