Ecuador is the place that most of the worlds Panama hats are made. I guess calling them Ecuador hats never caught on.
Panama hats are made from weaving straw that is specially dried, and depending on how finely weaved they can cost hundreds of dollars. And they can be rolled so small that they can fit into a cigar tube.
I bought 1 for $15, but I like to think its worth more and I got a deal because I went to the source.
That was the extent of the excitement for my day in Ecuador. I didn't stay off the ship long because it was way to hot and humid.
