The Moche people of northern Peru often used alpaca images in their art. There are no known wild alpacas, and its closest living relative, the vicuÃ±a (also native to South America), are believed to be the wild ancestor of the alpaca. The alpaca is larger than the vicuÃ±a, but smaller than the other camelid species.
From the Andes to You. Cousin of the llama, alpacas graze at elevations of 10,000 to 14,000 feet on the harsh high plains of the Peruvian Andes. Their thick, sumptuous coats grow naturally in over 40 shades from ivory to black, and every grey and brown shade between. Alpaca fiber is warmer and stronger than wool, and so resistant to saturation that itâs nearly water-repellant.
