Mount Ampato Alpacas, LLC

When we bought our first alpacas, we wanted an unusual but memorable name, one that would reflect the South American heritage of the alpaca. As a result Mount Ampato Alpacas, LLC, is named after a volcano in the Andes Mountains of Peru, an area from which so many beautiful alpacas have come.

While we expect our herd to continue to grow in size, we plan to remain small enough to be able to continue to provide individualized, hands-on attention to all of the animals on our farm. We strongly subscribe to the Camelidynamics practices taught by Marty McGee Bennett in handling our alpacas. In fact, Cheryl is a Certified Camelidynamics Handler and an Apprentice Practioner. Farm visitors are always pleasantly surprised with the relative ease with which our alpacas can be handled.
