XXL "Sombrero" Hammock: The essence of the Colombian hammock

The XXL "Sombrero" Hammock is one of our flagship products. It stands out for its ethnic design, inspired by ancestral symbols from pre-Columbian times. In Colombia, it is often said that the more complex the design, the more valuable the hammock. These are mostly ethnic geometric figures. The bangs are made from crochet fabric and adorn sombreros. To complete your relaxation space, we recommend you combine this hammock with.., our XL "Tumaco" chair hammock . A similar style, for a coordinated, harmonious ambience. For a perfect installation, don't hesitate to combine our Colombian ropes. They are specially designed for our Colombian hammocks.

Hammocks and Colombia

Colombia is one of the great hammock countries, along with Brazil and Mexico. A true art of living, it's hard to escape the sight of a hammock all over the country. They can be seen on apartment balconies, terraces, gardens and inside homes. In fact, in Colombia, the hammock is the equivalent of our deckchair. The whole family uses it for a nap and to spend the night; some Colombians will tell you with a smile, but the hammock doubles up as a sofa when the gentleman isn't welcome in the marital bed... In the hottest states, as in all indigenous communities, hammocks replace our traditional beds!

The history of the Latino hammock

Hamac del Sol is a company committed to fair trade and the promotion of sustainable development. We have put in place an ethical charter which aims to respect social and environmental standards, as well as guaranteeing fair remuneration for local artisans. The region's indigenous communities, in particular the Zenú, pass on their ancestral know-how for the manufacture of our entire Colombian collection, which is produced by the same workshop. By purchasing this top-of-the-range hammock, you are helping to preserve the manufacturing tradition of an entire people. It's also a way of opposing the industrial products that today represent over 80% of the hammock market.

Spend the night under the stars in an XXL hammock

Synonymous with relaxation, once inside, it's easy to see why the natives called it "the cradle of the gods". With this 1.80-meter-wide XXL hammock, spending a comfortable night under the stars can be an excellent idea. However, we recommend that you make sure it's not too close to the ground. If the hammock is too low, you may feel the cold during the night or when you wake up. To remedy this, we recommend placing a mat under the hammock.
