Mochilero (drug courier)

Mochileros (Spanish: "backpackers") are drug couriers in the Latin American cocaine trade. They move cocaine on foot from areas where it is produced, such as the Valle de los Rios Apurímac, Ene y Mantaro in Peru, to pick-up points from which it can be collected by the next link in the transport chain.[1] The work is highly dangerous.[1]

Not to be confused with Backpacker.
