South American Hammocks and Swings
Mayan - Colombian - Nicaragua - Ecuador - Brazil...

The Mayan people considered the Mayan Hammock a gift from the gods. These hammocks are sometimes referred to as hamacas, string hammocks, or Mexican hammocks. No matter what you call them, the truth is, a Mayan hammock is one of the most comfortable woven hammocks available since they're designed to follow the contour of the body, are are woven from the softest cotton threads. The Hammock Company specializes in Mayan hammocks from the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. We've looked long and hard to find the most comfortable Mayan hammocks available. Old World Mayan Hammocks are hand made by local artisans, weaving threads in the same way they have for thousands of years.

Often referred to as Brazilian hammocks, hamacas, banana hammocks, hamocks or hammicks, the South American hammock is one of the most comfortable fabric hammocks in existance. Both the hammocks and swings in this style follow the contour of the body and support weight evenly. One of our featured brands, La Siesta, has been a pilar in South American hammocks and swings for many years. In South America, siesta is the time when everything goes quiet for a while. Beaches are empty, shops are closed. It's a break in the middle of the day, a breather, before streets and plazas start refilling with the hustle and bustle of everyday life. So take a break, just hang out. Create a laid back lifestyle where you can lie diagonally and think laterally in a South American hammock.
