They can be found in a number of different South American countries, like Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Chile, mainly in the Andes Mountains.Alpacas live in Bolivia and Peru. But mostly in the mountains or raised areas.High in the mountains (12,000-16,000 feet about sea level). There is very little vegetation, thin air, and extreme temperatures (hot and cold)Alpacas and llamas are well-adapted to living high in the Andes mountains in South America. They live in the temperate forests up to the scoured rock passages towards the top of the mountain. Because of this, alpacas and llamas are very sensitive to heat and do not thrive during times of heat and humidity.The camelid family of animals, which includes alpacas, originated in North America in the Eocene epoch, about 45 million years ago. They migrated north and west across the Bering straight into Asia and south into South America. They became extinct in North America about the time man came around. Only in South America did the camelids develop into alpacas, guanacos, llamas and vicunas. In the 1980's, alpacas began being imported again to North America for their fine fiber and are now a farm animal raised in many places in the world, but especially the USA, Canada, Europe and Australia. They still run wild in South America, primarily Peru, Bolivia and Chile, in the Andes mountains. They can no longer be imported from South America into the United States.Peru
