Description
A pack animal of the northern Andean mountains, the llama is indispensable to the local Peruvian herdsmen. It steps on hard hooves that always find their purchase on steep mountainsides and scree slopes. But it’s the llama’s velvety wool that makes it a prized possession in South America. Their fine woollen undercoat they produce is used to make warmth garments and handicrafts of all kinds, a crucial trade in the mountainous regions of these countries.
