The Legend of the Alpaca

Andean mythology associates the alpaca with the goddess “Pachamama,” Mother Earth. Pachamana loaned the alpacas to them and were to remain with them for only as long as the humans respected and properly cared for the alpaca. According to this legend, Pachamama gave the alpaca as a gift from the mountain Ausangate, in Peru.

Dating back nearly 5,000 years, the alpaca is the oldest domesticated animal. Native to South America, the alpaca is one of four South American Camelids, which include alpaca, guanaco, vicuna and llama. The Incas treasured the alpacas. Providing food, clothing, transport, fuel and companionship, this gentle beast faced near total annihilation after the Spanish conquest of the Incas. They survived by virtue of their importance to the Inca people and their abilities to tolerate brutal climatic conditions.
