A "mochila" is a Spanish word that translates to "backpack" in English. It is a bag designed to be carried on the back, typically secured with two shoulder straps. Mochilas are commonly used by students, hikers, and travelers to carry books, supplies, or personal items. They come in various sizes, styles, and materials, making them versatile for different activities. In some cultures, particularly in Latin America, a mochila can also refer to a traditional woven bag, often made from colorful fabrics. These bags are not only functional but also serve as a representation of local craftsmanship and heritage. Many artisans create unique designs that reflect their cultural identity.
