In the morning, climbing the
slopes of Ecuador, we must find the plant
known as toquilla whose scientific name is "Carludovica
Palmata" |
 |
Once cut, the straw is taken... |
 |
to a small shed or even the home of the Indians, descendants of the Incas and
their bark is taken, and the straw inside. |
 |
is put to boil |
 |
later, the Indians put it to dry, then dry |
 |
begin to weave it ..
It´s a masterful job. |
 |
This is the beginning of the Panama hat |
 |
And follow weaving, hands, every cup and every tab. |
 |
|
 |
And a tradition of the descendants of the Incas, passed from generation to generation ... |
 |
So it made the Panama hat, desired
worldwide. |
