Today it’s not unusual to see llamas and alpacas dressed in colorful costumes in public squares in Andean towns. This is a longstanding cultural tradition, symbolizing power, respect and reverence among indigenous people, especially in Bolivia and Peru. For example, the Qhapaq Qolla dance, celebrated each July in Paucartambo, Peru, recognizes llamas, alpacas and their herders as powerful parts of an Andean “cosmovision,” or understanding of the universe.
