Vacuna at Alcra Pukara Museum

A close up of the vicuna at the museum.  We were told that vicuñas are protected animal and there would be a heavy fine and 25 years of jail time for shooting a vicuña or 8 years jail time if your car hit the animal on the road. Penalty is also given to people who witnessed the crime but did not report to the police. The fake fur of vicuna or Alpaca is every where in Peru as the real fur is extremely expensive. Given the contraband culture here, I would be hesitant to spent a large amount of money for a potential fake product.
