Alpacas are also known as the 'sheep of the Andes' and are a source of livelihood for Andean communities.
The alpaca, like the llama, has always been a domesticated animal, but unlike the llama, it is usually raised for its luxurious fine fiber. It is more profitable than the llama due to its better wool and tastier meat.
Alpaca has been the premier fiber of the Peruvian. Inca royalty wore robes made from alpaca fleece for good reason; alpaca is luxurious, strong, warm, and beautiful.
In adapting to the extreme temperatures of the high mountains, the alpaca developed fleece with unique thermal properties. In addition, yarns made from alpaca fleece are stronger than ordinary yarn and resist soiling, staining and pilling. Beacause an alpaca's coat does not have natural oils, its fleece is less likely to have the characteristic "itchiness" of ordinary wool and is more likely to be hypo-allergenic.
The wool can be found in 22 distinct, natural colors from white, to brown, to black. An alpaca can produce enough wool to make 6 or 8 warm sweaters. When compared to sheep wool, which only has a clean fiber yield of 43-76% after processing, the alpaca gives 87-95% usuable fiber. Another advantage of alpaca wool over sheep is that it does not require chemicals to be scoured and cleaned due to a much lower grease (lanolin) content. This makes it better for Pachamama, and also less expensive to process. Alpacas can be raised at very high altitudes, and so have developed more thermal capacity than almost any other animal. That´s the reason why the ALPACA is the camelid that serves as the main subsistence for Andean people. Alpacas live in the Andes at altitudes ranging from 3,000 to 4,500 metres above sea level and withstand extreme temperatures.
Nowadays, in the fashion industry, Alpaca fur is renowned to be one of the most luxurious, softest, resistant and beautiful fibres. It comes in an array of natural colours and it is used to produce beautiful apparel as well as home accessories.
People who touch an alpaca marvel at how soft its fleece is. This softness is the reason the feel of alpaca is often compared to the feel of cashmere.
In our online store you can buy different products such as warm alpaca sweaters, socks, shawls, hats (Chullos), and other gadgets.
In our alpaca garments we use a large percentage of alpaca wool without chemicals and knitted by hand and machine guarding every detail in their development. The quality of our alpaca sweaters makes them suitable for export.

Alpaca Teddy Bears, the special gift that everybody will love
The alpaca is a typical camelid from the Peruvian Highlands, today there are about 3.5 million alpacas in the Andean highlands, most of which can be found in Peru. There are two types of it:
The Suri alpaca, whose fiber is limp, silky, shiny and lustrous;
The Huacaya alpaca, which is estimated to make up between 85% of the Alpaca population, and has relatively short fiber which is dense, curly and voluminous. The hair covers almost all the body, only the face and lower parts of the legs having a covering of short fibers.
The main features of alpaca meat, which is extremely appreciated in Peru, are its high protein content (21%), its low fat content (4%), its low calorie content (101 kcal) and its low cholesterol level, which makes alpaca meat a healthy and light product in comparison to other kind of meats which have a higher cholesterol level (chicken, turkey, pig, beef, lamp).
Alpacas are popular internationally for their luxury fiber and as pet, show, and investment animals in Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, Poland, France, and Israel, as well as the United States.
The alpaca, in its two breeds, the Suri and the Huacaya, is the source of a beautiful fiber, of exceptional brilliance and extraordinary texture, whose fineness varies from 19 microns (Royal Alpaca), 22.5 microns (Baby Alpaca), 25.5 microns (Super Fine Alpaca), to 32 microns (Coarse Alpaca). This unique fiber also offers the largest range of natural colors in the world, which vary from black to white, and extend through an ample range of grays and browns.
The appellation 'Baby', for example, is applied to products (tops, yarns, cloth, etc.) where the average fiber diameter is 22,5 microns. The fiber used to obtain this quality does not necessarily come from baby animals; it could easily come from an adult animal with a very fine coat. Each quality is employed to create different products such as cloth, scarves, sweaters, blankets, carpets and so on. The alpaca may also be blended with other fibers, generally of natural origin.
We are peruvian alpaca fur product exporters with a lot of exporting experience to the United States, England, Spain and Germany, among others. It all started with my father about 70 years ago. He was passionate about Peruvian products. I continued his tradition and my kids will follow in my footsteps. We hope that you too will appreciation the interpretation of our artists in their attempt to record the riches of our culture in the products they produce. We work with a expert group of artisans to offer the best alpaca products like our bestseller “alpaca fur slippers” made with peruvian alpaca which have the greatest quality required by the international market…as we are manufacturers and exporters our prices are quite low compared to the competition’s.
Our alpaca bears or alpaca teddy bears offer a high quality in their finishing details and are made of the best material for its daily use. Our alpaca bears are beautiful, very soft and they come in natural colours. We are proud to offer them through our web page FancyBears.com, and we are sure you would be anxious about acquiring our alpaca products.

El objetivo de todo Webmaster SEO, es que su página salga listada en los buscadores con las palabras clave que tienen que ver con su negocio y a su vez estar posicionado en los primeros lugares para “ese” resultado de búsqueda. Las palabras clave son frases o palabras que están enlazadas con el contenido de su Website y por las cuales sus potenciales cliente lo contactaran.

Diseño Web Institucional
Son creados para darle a su empresa presencia en Internet, pero que no tienen como objetivo ser su principal herramienta de trabajo o medio publicitario. Generalmente estos sitios están formados por pocas páginas HTML, no poseen base de datos y, por lo tanto, no necesitan ser actualizados.
Páginas Web Grandes son construidas pensando en su fuerte permanencia en la Web, son generalmente bastante extensas y orientadas a las ventas, contienen al menos 15 pantallas HTML, algunas de estas incluyen base de datos y animaciones en flash. Este tipo de páginas web tienen un extra de funcionalidad por la cantidad de datos que se pueden encontrar, sin embargo, mientras más funcionalidades tenga su sitio, los requisitos de la plataforma de alojamiento pueden ser más altos.

Aquí empieza la travesía
Salí de mi casa a las 08:00 a.m. lo primero que ví fue lo primero que pisé. Un trozo de caca de perro justo en la puerta se pegó en mi zapato, (eso quería decir que tendré suerte durante el día). Me lo saque sobando la zuela con el borde la vereda. Segui mi ruta a la esquina para tomar el micro hacia el trabajo, un station vagon con la maletera llena de verduras me ensucio el cabello con todo el humo que lanzaba de su tubo de escape, yo que salí de mi casa tan fresca y regia ya me estaba sintiendo sucia por la polvareda que levantó esa chatarra. Que diantres!, seguía esperando en la esquina mi micro. Un taxi paró sin que yo estirara la mano, y solo para que un tipo rolludo, con la barba a medio crecer, despeinado y con una franela roja en las rodillas me dijera "mamacita a donde te llevo"...que asco, para eso me arreglo tanto. 5 Minutos depues de atormentarme con la contaminación sonora de la avenida, llegó mi carro, dos hombres con periodico en la mano, una señora de bolso y 4 escolares subieron antes que yo, empujándose se abrieron paso entre la multitud que viajaba casi colgada de la carcocha que cada vez se inclinaba más hacia la derecha... ni loca iba a subir alli, que se asfixien ellos si quieren, yo seguiría esperando y esperando y esperando...
