What Is a Peruvian Alpaca? Peruvian alpacas are a type of alpaca originating from—you guessed it—Peru, which is home to about 80 percent of the world’s alpaca population. In Peru, alpaca farming is a significant part of the economy, with wool products exported globally.
Alpacas are especially popular in North America, Europe, and Australia. There are two modern breeds of alpaca, separated based on their respective region of endemism and fiber (wool) type: the Suri alpaca and the Huacaya alpaca.
Alpaca, domesticated South American member of the camel family, Camelidae (order Artiodactyla), that derives from the vicuña (Vicugna vicugna). It inhabits high-altitude marshy areas in the Central Andes.
Alpaca (Vicugna pacos) are central to Andean life and weaving. Their lighter, finer fleece has been prized since Inca times and supports co-ops, weavers, and luxury markets.
