THE EXPERIENCE

Four immersive sensory experiences inspired by the Amazon, the Andes, the Tropic, and the Galápagos, blending artistic set design with state of the art technology.

An immersive environment shaped by toquilla straw, where visitors are invited to explore the material through touch, texture, and space. Visual projections woven into curtains of the same fiber lead guests on a sensory journey through its heritage, artistry, and transformation. The experience concludes with a cinematic narrative that reveals the authentic origins of the world renowned toquilla straw hat.
