Delicately detailed yet strong and supportive, the beautiful handwoven hammocks featured at Hotel Ynez and River Lodge are the traditional bed of the Guarayos Indians, a group indigenous to tropical Bolivia.
Over the centuries, women of this isolated community have preserved the intricate techniques of this ancient craft. Each hammock represents a months-worth of skilled craftsmanship during which hand-spun cotton thread is woven on horizontal looms and decorated with crocheted lace patterns and tassels.
