The aguayo is a kind of blanket to carry items (or even children) on the back or to cover the back.
It’s traditionally used in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, by people from the Andes.
I really like the patterns on the cloths, and even bought small pieces and use them as place mats. 🙂

Aguayo to typowa andyjska tkanina, używana w Argentynie, Boliwii, Chile, Ekwadorze, Kolumbii i Peru. Ma wiele zastosowań, np. służy do noszenia rozmaitych przedmiotów, a nawet dzieci.
Aguayo występuje w pięknych kolorach z ciekawymi zdobieniami, więc postanowiłam przywieźć taką pamiątkę w Boliwii, ale w postaci podkładek do jedzenia na stół. 🙂
They makes very beautiful handscraft
That’s true! 🙂
Great to know!

Beautiful! I purchased a piece (not as nice as yours) in Ecuador and it still retains its vibrant colours as the day I bought it.
That’s very nice that some items are still of high quality, even in tourist places! 🙂
