Factory Mundo Alpaca




Arequipa is known as the White City. The city is full of impressive colonial and Republican-era architecture, both in the city center and neighboring districts. The Mundo Alpaca Experience has a unique museum of textile machinery as well as a small – yet invaluable – exhibition of pre-Columbian textiles from important civilizations of Peru. The Amano-Michell Museum is home to the first pre-Columbian textile museum in Peru!
The Mundo Alpaca Factory seeks to expose the world to Peru´s cultural wealth, allowing its visitors to appreciate and "live" the Alpaca experience. You can interact directly with these animals in their natural habitat, and see the ancestral techniques used in the fiber production, as well as the exhibition of the extraordinary traditional backstrap loom process.
Mundo Alpaca in Arequipa City offers a unique two-hour experience that immerses you in fascinating Andean textile traditions. Arequipa´s textile tradition is based on the use of alpaca wool, one of the finest fibers in the country. Located in the heart of the city, this factory offers a comprehensive tour through the history and production process of fine alpaca wool, from the breeding of these majestic cameloids to the creation of high-quality garments. You’ll have the opportunity to meet alpacas up close, learn about how they are cared for, and watch live demonstrations by skilled weavers who still use ancient ancestral techniques to create items of high-quality clothing.
After the demonstration, we will then visit their exhibition of traditional textiles and art, to marvel at the cultural richness of the Andean communities and the significance of alpacas throughout history. Additionally, you'll have the chance to purchase exclusive products, taking home a piece of this wonderful experience. Mundo Alpaca is not just a tour; it’s a journey into the heart of Andean culture during your Peru tour packages.
Beyond the textiles and exquisite craftsmanship, Mundo Alpaca also offers serene and picturesque gardens and traditional architecture. This adds a layer of peace and relaxation, so you can fully appreciate your surroundings and the incredible alpaca products available at the factory. Mundo Alpaca has three exhibition rooms that display prizewinning works of art in both watercolors and oils, as well as traditional textiles. This permanent exhibition presents Peru through a sophisticated artistic experience. If you are searching for sustainable and authentic souvenirs, Mundo Alpaca is the perfect solution!
