Be warned, alpacas are adorable. Most breeders will admit to ‘love at first sight’. A rare and highly prized animal, they are members of the camelid family that live in the high altiplano of Chile and Peru. Docile and inquisitive by nature, they are superb lifestyle animals requiring limited care and attention and are gentle on the environment. They will captivate you with their aristocratic good looks, inquisitive nature and their endearing soft "humm" when communicating. More..
