Coconuts are not only used for drinks but also to create accessories or decoration. The project DAMARTES (Damas y Madres del Arte – ‘Women and Mothers of Art’) is an association composed by seven wome created in 2008. Nowadays, they produce jewelry, containers, vases, belts and accessories and are the first women of La Boquilla that generates their own income. Producing an object out of a coconut, requires above all enthusiasm and patience. The life of the DAMARTES is very impressive. All of them are mothers and most of them already grandmothers with interesting life stories that they like to share with us. The association is a working group of great women that are able to craft amazing things out of simple objects. 

We will go to La Boquilla zone in a private transportation accompanied by a bilingual guide.

At La Boquilla, ladies of DAMARTES will invite us to a very special workshop. They will present the project and after a welcome drink every participant can make his own souvenir out of coconut.

It is possible to craft bracelets, keychains, earrings or necklaces. The workshop will take place in a nice rustic restaurant right on the beach of La Boquilla.
