Accoyo Alpacas

Accoyo Alpacas originate from Estancia Accoyo, an alpaca ranch in Peru run by Don Julio Barreda, either as direct imports or direct descendants of imports. Over a period of four decades of careful breeding selection, these alpacas have become recognized for having some of the best white fleece in the world. Apart from carefully handpicking particularly his studs, natural selection has certainly added to the overall quality of his alpacas. Not only do these particular alpacas constantly live with the harsh climate that can be found at 15,000 feet above sea level, they also are only fed what actually grows in the area. In spite of the political strife that has repeatedly taken its toll on other alpaca breeders in Peru, Barreda managed to maintain and improve his herd consistently.
