Rede de dormir

A rede de dormir é uma das mais antigas tradições brasileiras

 

The hammock is one of the oldest traditions in Brazil

 

The piece that we see is made in different types of fiber by the primitive inhabitants of Brazil. The largest, hammocks, were used both for sleeping, sitting and also serving as a "means of transport" and other functions.

 

Among the recommendations that Rugendas, oner of the good European illustrators who visited us in the 19th century, are these:

"the use of a hammock, an indigenous invention, preferable to other types of bed, not only because it is lighter, easier to transport and set up, but also because in these hammocks, almost always raised several feet above the ground, the traveler is better off guaranteed against insects and other animals capable of disturbing your nocturnal rest."
