- Peruvian craft and food, Peru
(The Peruvian craft made out of alpaca fibre/hair can be quite a skill, brought down from generations. The pattern on an alpaca top is woven not from a book or printed page but from the mind of the weaver..a piece requiring 2 to 3 months to complete. That's skill of the highest order. But for prices of the highest order, it is not baby alpaca coats that cost the most but those made from the vicuna fibre, regarded as the rarest fibre in the world - 2nd photo below. We saw one at the airport that went for U$7000! Food seemed to grow big here..look at the size of the potatoes here and the corn..kernel size is 4 times that of ours)
