For the Wayùu, weaving a hammock, like the Wayúu4 hammock, means showing life as they feel it through their creativity, intelligence and wisdom.

The central part of the Wayùu hammock (hammock body) is woven in double thickness using a weaving technique called "Keiñasü" (chain). All this is done by hand, thread by thread, on a traditional Wayùu vertical loom. This technique results in a very resistant and airy weave.

The two side fringes are made with the crochet technique. They bear a sublime traditional Wayùu design called "Kuliitchiyaa", inspired by the shapes observed in the roofs of Wayùu houses in La Guajira.

These types of Wayùu hammocks, called chinchorro in Venezuela and Colombia, are the most prestigious found today, due to their great workmanship and quality. Very durable and comfortable, it is a rare object for unique decoration and moments of relaxation. Thousands of women from the deserts of La Guajira weave the patterns they dream of, making the best hammocks in the world.
