Crafts passed down from generation to generation

In Nicaragua, hammock manufacturing takes place within small and micro economic units which are managed and operated by the owner and/or members of his family, who, in their own interest, are responsible for the management and operation of the business. This hammock is manufactured in Masaya which is the main production center for hammocks in Nicaragua. The manufacturing method is passed down from generation to generation.

A hammock made of thick cotton thread

The production process of the handmade hammock begins when the wire is twisted into shackle of different sizes. The process is known as "torcido" (twisting) and will allow the wire to tighten and gain strength. This operation is carried out manually using a wooden wheel. The body of the hammock, woven mainly by men, offers maximum comfort when lying down. The extra thick ropes allow your back to sit perfectly, ensuring an ideal position once found.

Making the hammock on a loom

The thread is then wound on a loom, which allows the hammock to be weaved lengthwise using a sort of large wooden needle, the thread is woven into a large piece which will constitute the body of the hammock.

A tribute to the legend of the Santiago Crater

The Santiago crater of the Masaya volcano, is one of 7 active volcanoes in Nicaragua with 18 recorded acts of activity since 1520. Revered by the natives who consulted a witch inside, the Spanish conquerors called this volcano "mouth of the 'hell' and placed a cross to evoke the devil and exorcise the demon.
