Solentiname Islands

Nearly every house on the different islands of Solentiname have some artist or artisan living there. It is best to arrange to visit them all first to see what there is and what is interesting. Some islands have more of the balsa carvings and others offer very beautiful primitive art paintings, treasured among many international collectors.

There is a museum with a very good collection of artwork and information on the local ecological and cultural condition of the islands. The short boat trip to the various islands is also a great experience and one can reserve different pieces for later purchase once a price is agreed upon with a simple handshake.

The artists are very friendly and willing to have you enter their houses and watch them work on pieces which can be done by various members of the family.
