Inuka.com, leader since 2002 in the sale of hammocks and mosquito net hammocks, offers you a very large choice of travel and bivouac hammocks. The hammock is a light and comfortable means for a good rest after a hike. A bit of hammock history: The hammock originally came from Latin America. It is almost 1000 years since the Mayans invented the first hammock. Very quickly, the hammock becomes, in South America and Latin America, the bed of the Indians, where they are sheltered from poisonous snakes, wild animals but also from dirt and humidity. The hammock also served as a fishing net. When Christopher Columbus discovered America at the end of the 15th century, he spoke of men who slept between two trees, in hammocks. The hammock was then already widespread in many parts of Latin America.
