There are too many things to see. It is recommended that people who have time look carefully. It is really good that the exhibits are rich, and there are basic displays and special exhibitions.

    This is a unique alpaca museum in Arequipa, which is a comprehensive introduction to the alpaca that is only available in the Americas. In fact, alpaca is also divided into many species, and you can fully understand the alpaca's life habits and his development and evolution history. Very interesting and worth a look.

    The museum is small in size, but full of cultural atmosphere and unique charm. This is the courtyard of a Spanish colonial-style building. The bright yellow exterior wall is framed by white lines. After entering, the first to see the alpaca garden. The fence contains white, brown, black and other colors and varieties of alpacas, they are docile and cute, like to be close to people, visitors can experience close contact with them. There is a 70 or 80 square meters exhibition hall next to the alpaca garden, and the ground is full of alpaca hair. A woman in blue overalls, a work hat and mask is picking alpaca hair. This woman is not simply picking it, but sorting it by color, quality and the thickness of the hair. There was a large shed in the courtyard, with spindles and colorful wool for alpaca and indigenous peoples hanging on the walls, and pottery bowls with dry branches, seeds and leaves on the table, and four pottery pots on the mud-stone stove next to it. The indigenous Indians used these simple tools to spin and dye, and the dry branches and leaves and seeds were dyes. At the other end of the shed, two Indian women in embroidered blouses and white red-flower plaid shawls sat on the floor, each knitting long shawls with different patterns. The tools in their hands were four sticks of different thickness and a shuttle made of alpaca bone. The weavers are from the indigenous Cusco community, whose weaving techniques are ancestral and have been inherited for at least 3,000 years, and the patterns and colors of weaving are very traditional, mostly lakes, flowers and birds in their communities. They do not need drawings to weave, no matter how complex the patterns are, visitors can enjoy the "living culture" passed down from generation to generation. There is also a hall similar to a large factory building, where there are 13 waste machines on both sides, each of which is its huge "work photo" of the year, of which the oldest xingtai has been nearly a hundred years of history, is manufactured in 1917. The industrial production process here shows the production process from alpaca wool to garments, and the machines used are now modern, but the process has not changed.

    The alpaca museum in Arequipa is very small, as the name implies, to introduce the past and present life of the South American specialty alpaca. Here the pictures and text introduce the life and survival history of alpaca, there are many specimens and life scene models, very interesting, so that everyone has a more comprehensive understanding of the magic animal of alpaca, it is worth a visit.

    The museum has a lot of alpaca products, and there are small zoos inside. Because there are many things, you have to look carefully and you will find good things and you can buy them.
