Our Vicuna blog category is dedicated to the most graceful and iconic wild animal of the Peruvian Andes. These articles explore the life of this protected species in its natural habitat, covering its biological characteristics, its role as the wild ancestor of the alpaca, and its deep significance in Andean history.

You will find detailed information about the ancient “Chaccu” tradition a communal herding practice dating back to the Inca Empire and modern conservation efforts that have saved the vicuña from extinction.

We also explain how to identify these animals during your travels through the high-altitude plains of Peru and the environmental importance of their presence in the ecosystem. Whether you are a nature enthusiast or a student of history, our blog posts provide a comprehensive look at the spirit of the Andes.
