I bought a Cotton Mexican "Matrimonial" hammock (Hamaca) in Oaxaxa, Mexico. I used it off and on for years. But mostly indoors or in Jalapas. I lived in this Hammock at my beach house in El Salvador for two months because the beds provided were so bad and Scorpions were rampant. Als used it at Tikal (jungle) to be elevated off the ground. In Tikal they had open Jalapas where a hammock could be strung up.
I actually could get a very good nights sleep in my hammock, but takes getting used to. Always lay diagonal or across, never in line with the Hammock securing ropes. Only buy a cotton hammock, not synthetic. Synthetic does not stretch, Cotton does: More comfortable and cheaper.
(Algodon vs. Nylon)
I did not bring it to S. America. Too cold in the high Andean regions.
