alcayata

A sturdy metal hook anchored into the wall to support the ends of a hammock. This hardware is a staple in Venezuelan households for comfortable lounging (sleeping or resting in hammocks is a deeply rooted cultural practice in the country).

Before we move in we have to drill the wall to install the alcayatas, I really want to break in the hammock we bought on the trip.
