Camelids began to be domesticated about 7000 years ago in the Central Andes; practically all the pre-Inca cultures used them for the nourishment and clothing. Towards 3500 B.C. there appeared diverse breeds varying in color and fiber characteristics, but Spanish Conquistadors destroyed this industry. Acquiring peruvian alpaca is difficult because farms certify artificially inseminated stock and babies cannot be imported.
