Huacaya is one of the two main breeds of alpacas, known for its soft, dense fleece. This breed has a compact body and a rounded face, making it easily recognizable. Huacayas typically have a fluffy appearance due to their crimped fiber, which is highly valued in the textile industry. These animals are native to the high altitudes of the Andes Mountains in South America, particularly in Peru, Bolivia, and Chile. Huacayas are social creatures that thrive in herds and are often raised for their wool, which is used to make a variety of garments and textiles.
