Rare photos of the original Peruvian alpaca importations...


A group of black suris, chosen for export to the U.S., being held in stone corrals.
The large co-ops had hundreds of white alpacas from which Bill and the selection team could choose.

Alpacas from individual Peruvian breeders were herded out of the altiplano for the selection team to inspect.

Once selected, alpacas were transported by truck to the quarantine station.

After quarantine in Tacna, the alpacas were flown to the U.S. quarantine in Key West at a high security Naval base.
