On our farm, surrounded by forests and vineyards, our Suri alpacas live in a semi-free state. In 2016, 6 specimens arrived, and by 2024 we will have a total of 28 100% protected Suris alpacas, since on our farm the animals are NOT EXPLOITED FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES, making it the largest herd of Suris in the entire peninsula.
Our visitors will have the opportunity to know them closely, to feed them, to know their customs…
Given their country of origin (Peru), they are very uncommon animals here. They belong to the camelid family, just like the llamas, they are incredibly intelligent, with their own character, sociable, sensitive and with a domestic capacity. The Suri breed has the second best wool in the world after Vicuña, and it stands low temperatures naturally. Globally, only a 14% of all alpacas are Suri. In Can Marlès they are not exploited in any way and our mission is to protect them to boost their population.
