Alpacas are part of the Camelid family and are descended from the South American Vicuna. They were originally bred in the South American countries of Chile, Peru and Bolivia where they were bred in the main for their splendid fleece.
Today these adorable animals continue to be prized for their super soft fleece and have even found new uses as flock guards, lawn mowers, paddock pals and of course trekkers!
On Sunday we will be at the Gem Rock Museum, Creetown. We will have trekking vouchers, alpaca bird nesters and cuddly plush alpacas too! It's a 'gem' of a Christmas market so do swing by and say hello!
