Shopping

Alpaca 111Lots of stores stock clothing made of alpaca, but one of the few to offer articles made from vicuña is Alpaca 111. This diminutive creature, distant cousin of the llama, produces the world’s finest wool.

It is fashioned into scarves, sweaters, and even knee-length coats. There are branches of the store in Hotel Los Delfines, Miraflores Park Hotel, and Sonesta Posada del Inca El Olívar.
