Description

San Pablo, Ecuador near Otavalo. Llamas are one of the most priced possessions by the people from this region. Llamas are raised primarily for flesh, milk, and wool. But in the early days of their domesticity, nothing was wasted. Llama hair can be braided into rope, and their dried excrement can be used for fuel. Today, many llamas are used for labor, carrying packs of gear into the wilderness. These pack llamas can carry 50 to 100 pounds. When a pack llama is overloaded, it will lie down and refuse to continue until some of the weight has been removed.
