Meet the Animals of the Andes

Alpacas and llamas are irresistibly cute, with long fuzzy necks and fluffy faces. These iconic Andean species are both central to the livelihoods of locals, but they’re not the same animal.

Llamas are pack animals, originally domesticated by the Quechua people about 6,000 years ago. Alpacas are bred for their hair, and they’re about half the size of Llamas. You’ll find soft knit products made from Alpaca fiber all over Peru. To make matters even more confusing, Peru is also home to Vicuña, which looks a lot like Alpacas and Llamas. The Vicuna are an endangered species, much smaller and more deer-like than its cousins.

Meeting these animals of the Andes are a guaranteed highlight of family travel to Peru. Both Alpacas and Llamas are woven into everyday culture here, so seeing them up close helps visitors understand their significance. Llamas and Alpacas can be found almost everywhere, from the streets of Cusco to the mountains surrounding Machu Picchu. Family Trekking in Peru will likely involve the help of strong, agile Llamas, and some Alpaca wool will keep you warm along the way.
