Sacred Valley, Cusco: 10 reviews and 13 photos
The first place Jose (the owner of our B&B) took us in Peru's Sacred Valley was a llama/alpaca farm. Here, we could feed, pet and even hold llamasand alpacas. We were given stalks of alfalfa, which immediately attracted scores of llamas and alpacas, who were eager to tear it out of our hands. As forthe few vicunyas on the farm, they were kept in a seaparate area -- apparently they're a bit wilder than their more domesticated relatives.
The llamas and alpacas at the farm were very friendly and had beautiful eyes. There were a couple of baby alpacas who had entered the world only three days before. One of the farm workers caught one and allowed Sarah to hold it in her arms as the rest of the alpaca community stood around and watched.
