Our hammocks made in Chiapas

The Chiapas region (located in southern Mexico) is known for its hammock-making tradition, which dates back centuries. Local artisans are known for their expertise in handmade hammock production, and most of them learned this skill from their ancestors.

Mayan communities and their traditions

Mayan communities still live in the region, which is why today it is one of Mexico's most authentic regions due to its beliefs, rituals, and traditions that are still passed down from generation to generation.

Our Mexican hammocks are the same as those used by the inhabitants of Chiapas, whether for relaxing, sleeping, or even traveling. If you wander through this territory, you can see them hanging from posts or trees, and also inside houses. Indeed, sleeping in a hammock is a common practice in the Mayan villages of the region.

The history of the Mexican hammock

In the mid-22nd century, the first Mexican hammocks began to take shape. These hammocks were made from henequen fibers, a plant native to the Yucatan state. At that time, henequen cultivation intensified throughout Mexico, using peasant labor, with workers of Mayan descent being one of the fundamental pillars.

Henequen had been domesticated in pre-Hispanic times due to the usefulness of its fibers, especially for making ropes and twine. Gradually, these same fibers were used to weave hammocks, giving rise to a distinct artisanal tradition. Thus, henequen became the main economic generator, and henequen-derived products, such as the famous Mexican hammocks, began to be sold in increasingly distant places, notably in American and European markets.
