High in the harsh landscapes of Peru\u2019s central Andes, alpacas have sustained families for generations\u2014not just as a livelihood, but as part of daily life and identity. For farmer Evelyn Diaz, preserving that bond means safeguarding both her family\u2019s future and a heritage under pressure from climate change, economic challenges, and shifting traditions.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Evelyn Diaz, an alpaca farmer in Peru\u2019s highlands, the animals she works with every day are not merely her livelihood\u2014they\u2019re part of the family. \u201cSometimes my husband jokingly tells me that my mother must be an alpaca,\u201d she says with a giggle. \u201cFrom the moment I opened my eyes, they\u2019ve always been right there beside me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

Evelyn\u2019s family farm, Fundo El Nevado, sits high in the grasslands of the central Andes\u2014a five-hour drive from the bustling city of Juliaca. At 4,500 meters above sea level in the puna, oxygen is thin and vegetation sparse. The changing climate is also making alpaca farming increasingly difficult. But after years in the city, Evelyn felt the call of home. Ten years ago, she decided to return to her childhood home to help preserve Peru\u2019s alpaca farming tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, the business she runs with her parents and husband is recognized by Textile Exchange\u2019s Responsible Alpaca Standard, which ensures alpaca fiber is produced in a way that respects animal welfare, social welfare, and land health. It\u2019s a philosophy that comes through clearly in the way Evelyn talks about her flock and the landscape they inhabit.<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cThese animals are our guardians,\u201d she says. \u201cThey live closely alongside us\u2014the people of the high Andes\u2014and share the same ecosystems that sustain us all.\u201d<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t

Evelyn\u2019s parents, M\u00e1ximo and Felicitas Diaz, began their journey here 40 years ago with fewer than 100 alpacas and a small inherited plot of land. At the time, they were considered subsistence farmers \u2014a term M\u00e1ximo rejects for suggesting mere survival rather than his entrepreneurial, growth-driven approach. Through smart decisions such as buying land from neighbors and growing their herd exponentially, they overcame the challenges of living in the region\u2019s harsh climate with no public services. Over the years, they\u2019ve become known for breeding high-quality alpacas, now their main source of income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over a breakfast of chaplas (Andean bread) and a quinoa and lamb soup, Felicitas, now 70, shared that the greatest hurdle in those early years was ignoring their neighbors’ warnings about expanding their herd and land too quickly. \u201cIt was risky, they said,\u201d she recalled with a knowing smile as she served the hearty three-course meal. \u201cBut we didn\u2019t listen, and we proved them wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The couple passed on their work ethic to their children. Evelyn, the eldest of five, stood out early on for her passion for alpacas and life in the puna. While her sisters dreamed of city life, she was up at 3am every day, helping her father with the daily tasks required to maintain a healthy herd\u2014a routine that remains unchanged to this day. As she herded the alpacas, Evelyn explained that, like any other member of the family, the animals simply need constant love and care. \u201cI just couldn\u2019t stay away from them for too long,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n

When Evelyn and her sisters reached their teenage years, M\u00e1ximo and Felicitas faced a tough decision. The puna wasn\u2019t conducive to quality education, so they began splitting their time between the farm and the city. As the eldest, Evelyn often found herself acting as a part-time mother. \u201cIt was a huge responsibility,\u201d she admitted. \u201cDuring high school, I had to balance helping my parents manage the farm and taking care of my sisters. It wasn\u2019t easy, but it taught me a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her hard work and determination were reflected in her academic success. Thanks to her parents\u2019 unwavering support, Evelyn became the first woman in her village to pursue a professional career, unsurprisingly choosing veterinary medicine. While studying at the Universidad Nacional del Altiplano de Puno, she met her husband, Oscar Vilca, who shared her love for alpacas and llamas. After graduation, the couple returned to El Nevado with innovative ideas for improving herd management: new herding techniques, keeping records on each of the animals, and the introduction of Western medicine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, these modern approaches initially clashed with M\u00e1ximo and Felicitas\u2019s traditional methods. \u201cIt was like talking to the most stubborn wall you can imagine,\u201d Oscar joked. \u201cI only gave in to stop the headaches their constant nagging was giving me,\u201d his father-in-law replied.<\/p>\n\n\n

Their persistence eventually paid off. Mortality rates decreased, animal welfare improved, and the herd grew to over 2,000 alpacas. The family grew too: Evelyn and Oscar had two children. While Oscar fostered cooperation among neighboring farmers and collaborated with local governments to improve market access for alpaca products, Evelyn became a leading voice for alpaca farmers across Peru. Her ability to articulate the challenges farmers face\u2014particularly women\u2014caught the attention of Peruvian fashion designers and organizations eager to support initiatives that improve rural livelihoods, such as Meche Correa and Qaytu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Evelyn is quick to point out that their work is far from finished. \u201cThere\u2019s still so much to be done,\u201d she says, describing her projects to create entrepreneurship opportunities for women, which ran into traditional expectations around their role as homemakers.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n\t\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t

\u201cWith limited government support and few opportunities for alpaca farmers, many young people are losing interest in following their parents\u2019 path.\u201d<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t

This generational shift is a significant concern for the Diaz family and wider alpaca farming community, and Evelyn and Oscar are determined to bring it to the attention of industry stakeholders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When asked about the greatest challenge she faces as a female alpaca farmer, Evelyn is unequivocal: \u201cBeing away from my kids.\u201d Even 30 years after her parents faced the same issue, it\u2019s still almost impossible to balance farming and providing a decent education for one\u2019s children. \u201cThe only option is for them to live in the city with a relative while you travel back and forth from the farm,\u201d she says. She makes the four-hour commute to and from the city and the farm almost daily, in order to see her children as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the difficulties of highland life, Evelyn says the bond she shares with her animals is her greatest source of hope. \u201cAs a mother, I know it\u2019s thanks to them that I have an income and can provide for my children,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApparently, we raised them,\u201d <\/strong>she says of the herd. \u201cBut if they could speak, they would say that they raised us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
