Hand Woven Fuchsia and Royal Blue Hammock from Mexico, "Iridescent Tropics"
Fuchsia and royal blue create a fabulous iridescent effect on this inviting hammock from Mexico's Maya Artisans of the Yucatan. They keep tradition alive by weaving the hammock with the same techniques developed by their Maya ancestors.
Long before the Spanish arrived upon the coasts of the Yucatan Peninsula, the Maya preferred to sleep and rest in hammocks. They considered the hammock to be like the loving embrace of a mother, due to the comfortable manner in which the body is held and swung within its cradle. Maya Artists of the Yucatan seek to preserve time-honored customs while also offering stylized versions of the original Maya hammock. For them, the hammock is a work of art. Their hammocks are incredibly comfortable, easy to maintain, and may be stored just about anywhere.
Please note: The accompanying extension ropes may vary in color from those shown in the images.

"Love it!"
I love how soft it is compared to the one I replaced it with. It came with rope with a reinforced section and S hooks. The rope is great to use with carabiners as they are more secure than S hooks. Thank you so much!

"Love my hammock"
I love my hammock! It s beautifully made, very sturdy, and incredibly comfortable. It comes with ropes to hang the hammock, but I prefer hammock straps so I use those instead. The loops where you hook the hammock to a rope/strap/etc. are very strong and sturdy. 15/10 would recommend these hammocks :)
