Niché en bordure de la route de Cusco à Pisac au K23 en pleine nature ce centre présente dans des enclos ces camélidés.
De nombreux panneaux explicatifs permettent de comprendre leur mode de vie et leur intérêt économique.
Un centre artisanal avec locaux en costume et démonstrations de tissage complète le site.
Franchement, en m'y arrêtant je pensais tomber sur le parfait piège à touriste mais en fait on y trouve tellement d'explications intéressantes et les animaux sont si facile d'approche que ça vaut un arrêt. Bien sûr il vaut mieux regarder les prix avant d'acheter ici mais on y trouve tout le panel des créations locales d'artisanat
