Alpacas are native to the Andean Mountain range of South America and are primarily found in Peru, Bolivia, and Chile . The Incas used the Alpaca fleece for clothing and also the alpaca provided them transportation. Alpacas have been domesticated for over 5,000 years, but only came to the United States in 1984. Only about 50,000 are now registered in the U.S.
