The Legendary Alpaca
The Alpaca from Peru is a legendary packhorse from the Andes. It is a South American Camelid family member and was domesticated by the Inca civilization. Bred for its strength and endurance, the Alpaca is closely related to the superbly fine Llama and the Vicuña.
Alpacas are primarily raised as pack animals in the Andean Mountains of Peru and Bolivia, where temperatures and conditions fluctuate widely. It is rainy in the summer and sunny, dry, and cool in the winter. The Alpaca has adapted, and so has its wool. If this replica ever becomes soiled, simply sprinkle talcum powder on the soiled area and brush softly.
