    • Name of Shop: Any one of the hat shops and factories in Cuenca

    Ask at your hotel desk. There are several hat shops and factories at which you could shop. You might want to take a little tour to see how the hats are made. Very interesting.

    What To Buy: The straw "Panama-style" hat of your dreams. Customize as you choose with silk or color.

    What To Pay: $35-50 US. (The US dollar is the coin of the realm in Ecuador)

     nice little page. these days i am collecting lot of info on smaller central american and south american countries. those hats won't stand the winds of canada though.    		karenincalifornia Mon Aug 28, 2006 19:37 UTC
     Will these hats give me hat hair? Looks like a really fun place, but I wouldn't want hat hair.
