Cream Colombian Hammock Handmade in San Jacinto

Description

A handmade Colombian hammock produced in one of the artisan workshops of San Jacinto is a thing of luxury. The town, located in Bolívar Department, is the most important craft centre of Colombia and the Caribbean region in general. Hammocks elaborated by the local craftsmen and women are among the best in the world. Every element is manufactured by hand using traditional techniques passed on from generation to generation. Hammocks from San Jacinto are one of the true Colombian legends.

For the artisans of San Jacinto, producing and selling their craft is the only way of subsistence, most of them have spent their whole lives mastering the skills necessary to reach their level of expertise. By purchasing the products of their hands you are contributing to the community’s economy and to preserving their traditional way of life.
