Llama + Alpacas in their Native Land

July 01, 2026  •  Leave a Comment

We visited a traditional textile factory and farm to learn about how quality alpaca and llama textiles are made and how to tell the difference. I spent wayyyyy too much money in their onsite store but it was well worth it.

The Vicuna is a very rare breed of camelid.

The Guinea Pigs got extra treats and pets from me after we learned they are farmed for their meat in this region. I could never eat them! I had one growing up.



Peruvian alpaca weaving is a 4,000-year-old Andean tradition. This artisanal craft supports over a million farmers and weavers across the high Andes.
