Panama Hats in Cuenca

(Cuenca, Ecaudor)

The best panama hat museum in the world! If you have plans to visit Cuenca, Ecuador and would like to learn more about how panama hats are made you should visit our panama hat factory.

All tours are free and completed in either spanish or english. Most panama hat exports come out of Cuenca because most of the weavers are based in small towns outside of the city. Why most of the weavers are based in Cuenca is because of the high elevation. In the mountains weavers can weave all day without their hands slipping.

By coming to the factory you can see the process and learn panama hat story!
