Description
If you're looking for a reasonably-priced hiking backpack or smaller day pack, this is a cool place. The owner Carlos sews the bags himself. You can see him stitching the pieces together when you go!
The bags range from $20 for a school bag to $60-70 for the big packs with external aluminum frames. We bought two medium-sized bags for $30 each for trekking (sorry I don't know the specific sizes). He also makes waist packs and other small bags. I included some pictures of the examples, but I'm sure he could make a specific color for you if you wanted.
Check this place out if you want a simple but affordable backpack made in Ecuador, and also to support local business.
