Description
Alpacas (Vicugna pacos) cross the altiplano puna grasslands near Sajama volcano (6542m / 21,465ft), Bolivia's highest peak. They are (along with llamas) one of South America's domestic camelids and closely related to camels. They are common throughout the Andes and bred mainly for their fine, soft wool. In high altitude regions where agriculture is difficult camelids are often the mainstay of the rural economy and herds can be huge.
