    • Name of Shop: Taller de sombreros Angel Zhunio

    Small shop in the center of Cuenca more famous for its traditional hats than for panamas. However, it really worth a visit to see the owner refurbish the hats or ear his opinion on a hat.

    What To Buy: A traditional hat... or just have a look.

    Very nice shop where you can buy the real super-fino panama hat, as well as less pricey hats, for men and women. They finish the hats themselves and you can choose your hat and the finishing.
    The shopkeepers are nice, friendly and very helpful. They may prepare your hats for the flight (even if you did not buy them at the shop but in this case, do not forget the tip).
    There's a small museum too.

    What To Buy: All the shop!
