| Today I visited the Kensmyth Alpaca Stud in South Cerney to receive a cheque for sponsorship of my expedition. I thoroughly enjoyed the visit, and loved meeting the Alpaca. They are beautiful little creatures. I was surprised at how small they are and hadn't expected them to be quite so endearing. |

Thanks again to Kensmyth Alpaca Stud for sponsoring me.
Alpaca are domesticated and bred for their fibre. In Peru they live in herds in the Andes roughly between 3,500 - 5,000m above sea level.
Alpaca are the domesticated form of the wild vicuña and Llamas (considerably larger than Alpaca) are the domesticated form of the wild guanaco.
