3) Alpacas - Cusco, Peru

Many people get confused when they see an alpaca because they are very similar to llamas. The way you can tell the difference is that alpacas have straighter ear-shapes compared to a llama and are generally smaller sized with fleece. Alpacas can be found in many part of the world but they originally come from the mountains of Cusco in Peru. Head to Machu Picchu to find alpacas grazing the land.
