Llama lovers' delight

If you love llamas or have more than just a passing interest in alpacas, then a 19-day tour in South America will send you home thoroughly educated about the tall and woolly animals.

The Alpaca Odyssey tour, leaving from Sydney on November 16, includes visits to alpaca breeding centres, mills and markets where alpaca wool clothing and textiles can be bought, and a research station where tour members can go llama trekking.

Inca Tours has arranged accommodation in four-star hotels and ensured the itinerary includes all the tourist highlights in Peru such as Cuzco, Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley of the Incas.

The tour is priced from $A10,486, ($13,100) which includes return airfares to Sydney, accommodation and breakfasts, plus some other meals, ground transport and all admission fees.
