Awana Kancha

Fodor's Review:

Awana Kancha, whose Quechua name loosely translates as "palace of weaving," provides an opportunity to see products made from South America's four camelids (alpaca, llama, vicuña, and guanaco) from start to finish: the animal, the shearing, the textile weaving and dyeing, and the finished products, which you can purchase in the show room.
