Well, the alpaca, a member of the Artiodactyla order and the\nCamelidae family, is distinctive because it is the largest and smallest species\nof South American camelid. Similar to the llama and the guanaco in its external\nappearance, it differs in weight and size since an adult specimen measures\nbetween 81 and 99 centimeters in height and its weight ranges between 48 and 84\nkilograms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It has large, pointed ears. The body is thin and a long\nnarrow neck protrudes; Of course, this thin neck is perceptible when it is not\ncovered with wool, since it grows up to 50 centimeters and has a variety of\nwhite, brown and black colors. The coat can be a uniform color or\nmulti-colored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Its canine teeth are positioned in both jaws and are about 3\ncentimeters long. The female does not have as well developed canines as the\nmale, but with the exception of this characteristic, both sexes are physically\nsimilar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The long and soft fleece reaches in certain parts of the\nbody, for example on the flanks, a minimum of 10 to 12 cm. The color of the\nanimal is almost always uniform: brown, white or black, although there are also\nmottled individuals. Its cape is very long, almost touching the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two breeds of alpaca: the huacaya and the suri,\nwhich are differentiated by the external characteristics of their fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the llama and the camel, it has a habit of spitting,\nused to show aggressiveness or as a method of defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-curiosities-of-the-peruvian-alpaca\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_curiosities_of_the_Peruvian_Alpaca\"><\/span>5 curiosities of the Peruvian Alpaca<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"591\" height=\"443\" src=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/alpacas-peru.jpg\" alt=\"alpacas peru\" data-id=\"3957\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/alpacas-peru.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/alpacas-peru-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-3957\"\/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">alpacas peru<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/alpacas-peru1.jpg\" alt=\"alpacas peru\" data-id=\"3954\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/alpacas-peru1.jpg\" data-link=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/alpacas-peru1-2\/\" class=\"wp-image-3954\"\/><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">alpacas peru<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Per\u00fa <\/strong>is the leading producer of <strong>Alpaca<\/strong> fiber in the world, having 87% of the world&#8217;s population, spread over 3.6 million specimens.<\/li><li>The <strong>Alpaca <\/strong>population in<strong> Per\u00fa <\/strong>represents the livelihood of 82,459 agricultural producers and is mainly concentrated in Puno (39.6%) Cusco (14.7%), Arequipa (12.7%), Huancavelica (8.3%), Apur\u00edmac (5.9%), Ayacucho (2.8 %) and Pasco (1.8%).<\/li><li>Alpaca fiber is silky, elastic, soft, durable and non-flammable.<\/li><li>Its fiber has unique thermal properties due to the microscopic air pockets found inside.<\/li><li>This alpaca fiber appears naturally in approximately 32 shades, making it an attractive alternative to leading designers around the world.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-breeds\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Breeds\"><\/span>Breeds<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two breeds of alpaca, which are differentiated by\nthe external characteristics of their fiber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-huacaya\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Huacaya\"><\/span><strong>Huacaya<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fiber of the huacaya grows perpendicular to the body of the alpaca, it has density, softness, luster, curls (crimp) that give it a spongy appearance, the fiber wicks are shorter compared to the suri, with absence of suarda that is typical of the sheep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-suri\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suri\"><\/span><strong>Suri<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The fiber of the suri grows parallel to the body of the alpaca, forming independent curlers throughout the body like the fringes of the high Andean women&#8217;s shawl, it has density, softness, and luster much more noticeable than in that of the huacaya, giving it a silky and shiny appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-baby-alpaca-wool\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Baby_Alpaca_Wool\"><\/span><strong>Baby Alpaca Wool<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Baby Alpaca wool <\/strong>is\na type of Alpaca fiber. This is not the fabric of a newborn alpaca! It receives\nits name because it is the first shave of an alpaca, when it is less than a\nyear old, from the lower part of the neck to the abdomen. It is at this point\nwhere the coat is at its finest, lightest and softest stage; between 21 to 23\nmicrons in diameter (a super fine alpaca fabric is 24 to 26 microns). Since <strong>Baby Alpaca wool <\/strong>is so expensive, it is\ncommonly mixed with others (such as sheep&#8217;s wool).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-royal-baby-alpaca\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Royal_Baby_Alpaca\"><\/span>Royal Baby Alpaca<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a category of baby alpaca, with fabric of less than 20\nmicrons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-feeding\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Feeding\"><\/span>Feeding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like the vicu\u00f1a, the alpaca carries out a process of\nselection of plant species, as well as their most succulent parts. They have a\npreference for herbaceous plants and browse only in dire need. During dry\nperiods they increase their consumption of grasses. They need to drink water\nevery day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reproduction\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reproduction\"><\/span>Reproduction<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Males reach sexual maturity between 1 and 3 years of age,\nwhile females between 1 and 2 years. After giving birth, the female is\nreceptive again at approximately two weeks. The gestation period lasts about\n345 days, after which only one baby weighing 6 or 7 kg gives birth. On very\nrare occasions there are cases of 2 babies. They have a longevity of\napproximately 20 years. Under good conditions of life and nutrition, they can\nlive another year and in better health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-habitat\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Habitat\"><\/span>Habitat<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Alpaca <\/strong>has a\nreduced distribution; It is present in the Andean regions of South America at\nan altitude of 5,000 meters above sea level. It lives in <strong>Per\u00fa<\/strong>, Bolivia, Chile, Ecuador and Argentina but is currently also present\nin countries such as the United States, the Netherlands, Australia and New\nZealand as a result of its introduction in the 1980s. Despite this, 99% One\nhundred of the alpacas live in South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It inhabits the mountains, savannas and grasslands of the Andean Altiplano, close to humid areas and with temperatures below 0 degrees Celsius at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-behavior\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Behavior\"><\/span>Behavior<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> The alpaca no longer exists in the wild, it is grouped in herds that graze year-round in the highlands, and are only led to the barn for shearing. When an individual is separated from the rest of the herd he falls to the ground and is so stubborn that there is no way to get him up. Before bowing, he faces the worst punishments and even death. They show great affinity with water, staying for a long time in water sources and trying to step on wet places. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-threats-of-the-alpaca\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Threats_of_the_Alpaca\"><\/span>Threats of the Alpaca<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It is known that the alpaca population is not in danger of\nextinction but its distribution is very limited. It is raised primarily for its\nfur, which is used to make fabrics used in sweaters, ponchos, coats, bedding,\nand much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is a latent danger for the alpaca the custom of keeping it in herds together with the llama, since both species tend to mate and produce offspring with a very weak genetic constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-alpaca-as-pets\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Alpaca_as_Pets\"><\/span><strong>Alpaca as Pets<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to their calm nature, is a good idea to have <strong>alpacas as pets<\/strong>. And they have also\nbegun to be used in animal therapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Love at first sight. This is how many people describe their\nfirst encounter with an alpaca. &#8220;They have big eyes, soft fur, and you can\ntrust them,&#8221; says Henrik Wagner, a veterinarian and owner of several\nalpacas himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alpacas are gregarious animals and should never be alone.\n&#8220;Two are the minimum to have,&#8221; says Herbert Ruch, president of the\nInternational Alpacas Association. &#8220;But it is much better to have four or\nfive,&#8221; he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whoever does not want to breed, will have to castrate the\nmales as soon as possible, since the females are always fertile. There is no\nproblem in having a herd of neutered males and females.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Alpacas as pets<\/strong>\nare easy to care for, but they need space. The rule is that two animals have at\nleast a thousand square meters in a bounded meadow. For each additional animal\nyou have to count a hundred more square meters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Animal protection organizations also prescribe that they\nhave a covered enclosure closed on three sides, although a stable would be\nbetter. Vaccines are also important, especially against parasites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once a year, before the start of summer, the alpacas must be\nsheared. As they cannot sweat, the heat accumulates if not under the coat of\nhair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When shearing <strong>alpacas\nas pets<\/strong>, they usually remove between six and eight kilos of wool, which can\nbe used to knit hats, scarves and sweaters, especially suitable for allergy\nsufferers. In fact, it is already common to see entire collections made with\nalpaca wool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-much-do-alpaca-cost\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_do_Alpaca_cost\"><\/span><strong>How much do Alpaca cost?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have decided to have an alapaca as pet, maybe your\nare asking yourself <strong>how much do Alpaca cost?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, be prepared to spend a lot of money. It is not usually\ncheap to get a good quality alpaca, although you will not need to buy a show\nthat costs a million dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, <strong>how much do Alpaca cost? <\/strong>The price of each specimen is a function of the quality of its genetics, Yedra has added for whom a &#8220;genetically bad&#8221; animal produces a lower quality wool fiber that is then more difficult to place on the market and obtain performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tours-in-per\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Tours_in_Peru\"><\/span>Tours in Per\u00fa<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/city-tour-lima\/\">City Tour Lima<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/machu-picchu-tour-full-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Machu Picchu Tour Full Day<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/inca-trail-to-machu-picchu-4-days\/\">Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 4 Days<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/tour-machu-picchu-2-days\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Inca Trail to Machu Picchu 2 Days<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/colca-valley-full-day\/\">Colca Valley Full Day<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/uros-and-taquile-islands-full-day\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lake Titicaca Tour Full Day<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/sandboarding-huacachina-excursion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Huacachina Tour<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/humantay-lake\/\">Humantay Lake Tour<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dreamy.tours\/en\/tour\/pachacamac-full-day-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pachacamac City Tour<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alpaca or Paco.
