The wickerwork industry originated in the parish of Camacha in 1850. The area has an abundance of willow trees because the lands have plenty of water and these trees do well in thus type of soil.

After the willow branches are harvested, they are cut, stripped and set out to dry. Before being woven into any creation, the wicker is boiled to make it easier to bend and shape.

The wicker is then woven into pieces of furniture, baskets and the famous wicker toboggans used to ride downhill from Monte.
