“#Where to see llamas in Peru<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

To travel<\/a> to Peru<\/strong> and not see the famous llamas<\/strong> is like making a fruit salad without app<\/a>le, something incomplete by any reckoning! So before getting on the airplane to fly to Lima<\/strong> you must be aware that ,sooner or later, you\u2019ll meet any of these South American camelids.<\/p>\n

\"This
This llama got to Machu Picchu before you<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But when we say be aware, we mean expect to see Peruvian llamas along the streets of the highest provinces in the country, like Puno, Apurimac, Cuzco, Ayacucho, Huancavelica, Huancayo, part of\u00a0Arequipa, Moquegua or\u00a0Huanuco\u2026 and also in restaurant menus<\/strong>. Exactly, maybe\u00a0the first time you come across one of these animals is on a plate with a sauce; although in this case it might not be a llama but an alpaca, cause as time goes by you\u2019ll discover that the animals we all had considered llamas can also\u00a0be alpacas<\/strong>, vicu\u00f1as<\/strong> and even guanacos<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

\"These
These guanacos can\u2019t believe you had mistaken them for llamas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Don\u2019t worry if your ignorance on this subject is supine, cause you can attend a lecture<\/strong> about these four different races\u00a0in a place called\u00a0Awanakancha<\/strong>, which is a camel breeding center located on the road from Cuzco to Pisac. Also called \u201cliving museum of los Andes\u201d, it\u2019s ready to hold tourists in its kind of zoo-workshop to learn to distinguish between the different types of camels and to\u00a0know how alpaca wool<\/strong> is woven by hand.<\/p>\n

These two alpacas want you to call them cuties<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

But llamas aren\u2019t just something wonderful of present times; back in Inca<\/strong>\u00a0days\u00a0they were already prized animals and did the work that\u00a0horses and oxen were doing in Europe. Many ancient images of this beautiful animal can be seen in Moche<\/strong> ceramics, and it was even used in religious ceremonies as a sacred Andean animal: one of the most famous examples is the closure of\u00a0the Inti Raymi<\/strong> festival, consisting of the sacrifice a llama in the Sacsayhuaman<\/strong> ritual for\u00a0the sun.<\/p>\n

These camels have gotten adapted to the inhospitable environment of the highlands<\/strong> since they were domesticated 4.500 years ago,\u00a0and they graze perfectly fine in their habitat no matter the whipping cold. They are used to living in that environment, something\u00a0impossible for other animals such as sheep or cows. That\u2019s why it represents strength<\/strong> in their communities, they\u2019ve been used as a beast of burden and have withstood and survived firmly all the changes among the centuries. However, \u00a0it\u2019s estimated that the species were reduced due to\u00a0the hunters and the lack of protection.<\/p>\n
