A visit to the Museo des Sombreo should not be missed, after all the panam hat is an original handicraft product from Ecuador. It got its name because it made its way all over the world via the Panama trading platforms. In the museum, the production of the wickerwork material from palm trees as well as the production of the hats themselves is shown very clearly. It takes several weeks to several months until a single hat is finished. A fine hat easily costs €500, a top product even €6000. But these are waterproof, can be rolled up and even pushed through a wedding ring.

The visit is also worthwhile because of the associated café. The stop supports the work of the museum just like the purchase of a hat and you have a great view high above the river and the new town.
