The aguayo [1] [2] (possibly from awayu, Aymara for diaper and for a woven blanket to carry things on the back or to cover the back), [3] [4] [5] [1] or also quepina [6] (possibly from Quechua q'ipi bundle) [7] [8] [6] is a rectangular carrying cloth used in traditional communities in the Andes region of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru.
