WHO MADE THE KALLPA BABY ALPACA PONCHO? 

The Kallpa Baby Alpaca Poncho was woven by the Quechua artisans of the Puca Turpay weaving association, located in the village of Rumira Sondormayo at an altitude of 4,000 meters (13,000 feet). Accessible by vehicle from the town of Ollantaytambo, Rumira Sondormayo can be found across the river from their neighbor, Patacancha.
