Mundo Alpaca

Live the Alpaca experience and know the tradition, process, and history of its fibre and the wonderful textile industry of the Andes. Additionally, visit our new pre-Columbian textile museum and discover the beginnings of this wonderful art.

We happened upon Mundo Alpaca. We were warmly greeted and guided through the property. The tour began in a shop so we knew buying items was probably the goal. Marjorie was our guide and never gave us any pressure. She told us all about the alpaca and llama and let us feed them. We enjoyed learning about the process of creating items and the history. It was a great experience!
