XL “Carmen” Mexican hammock: The hammock is more than 1000 years old!

The hammock, a prestigious object and hierarchical symbol during the pre-Columbian period in Mesoamerica and the North of the Andes, spread throughout the region in a good part of South America (Amazon basin, South American tropical forests) and Central America (Mexico, Guatemala.. before the 15th century. When the first Western explorers reached the "new world", the hammock was widely used as a means of sleeping by all social classes. Today, it is commonly used by many natives, not only for sleeping, but also for various activities.

The characteristics of our XL Mexican hammocks

Mexican hammocks in XL size, originating from Chiapas, offer an incomparable relaxation experience. Designed to comfortably accommodate 1 to 2 people, they are made from 100% nylon, ensuring remarkable resistance with a maximum load supported of 200 kg. Mexican artisans, experts in the field, have developed these hammocks with a generous length of 4m and a large number of ropes connected to the ring, called the hammock arm.

The pool hammock: Do nothing, relax, and let yourself be rocked

This specific design aims to make the hammock soft on the inside, thus promoting an optimal relaxation experience in the center. The 156 ropes per arm of the hammock ensure balanced weight distribution, ensuring extended swinging compared to smaller hammocks. This abundance of ropes provides a feeling of stability and comfort, making these XL hammocks an irresistible invitation to relaxation.

Cultural anecdote: The origin of the term “Gringo”

Did you know? The term "gringo" originated during the occupation of Mexico by American troops in 1914. The soldiers were dressed in green, and the local population called them "green go". Even after the soldiers left, the expression remained. It's common to hear people refer to you as "chele", which is the inversion of the word "leche" (milk) in verlan, referring to the foreigner's light skin color. "Gringo" is generally considered more derogatory than "chele".
