What About Price?

A Mayan Hammock is a bit pricier than some other hammocks on the market, and with good reason. It can take 90 hours or more to create a single Mayan hammock, making the purchase of this variety a definite "Fair Trade" buy. Many of these come in traditional colors or designs, so there is a definite heritage factor at work in the creation of each one. If you want to support local economies, a Mayan hammock may be a good buy for you. Additionally, these hammocks are obviously handcrafted, making them excellent and unique gifts. You may be able to print or download a fact sheet about your Mayan hammock to include with the gift to offer a bit of background history along with the hammock. This can be a fun way to give someone a taste of the "old world" south of the border.
