The Wayuu backpacks are part of a tradition in the Wayuu indigenous community that inhabits the Guajira Peninsula in northern Colombia.

 The Wayúu mochilas fascinate by its color, design and complexity of techniques used in its preparation. Easily recognizable by the geometric figures that symbolize the elements of nature (animals, stars, plants, etc.) surrounding the Wayuu everyday life.
