MALKINI
Malkini is a hacienda dedicated to the rearing of
alpacas. With time, it has acquired such fame that many alpaca farmers
from around the world come to learn and to take specialised courses
about these animals.
Located in the middle of the mountains, in the altiplano
(high plateau) area, this spectacular hacienda is not just an ideal
place for those travelers interested in alpacas, but also for those
who wish to escape from the beaten track, and who want to have a totally
different and authentic experience during their visit to Peru.
There are various activities to enjoy in the surrounding
area. The visitor can explore the hacienda by 4x4, going to the furthest
corners to see the alpacas graze in a semi-wild state, ride Andean
ponies to the beautiful small lake in the middle of the mountains or
walk up into their heights to appreciate the spectacular scenery of
the surrounding mountain range. Whichever activity the guests choose,
they can always return to the warmth and comfort of the hacienda, where
they will find all the commodities and will be well attended to.
Malkini is situated just a few kilometres away from
Lake Titicaca, and so is a perfect retreat outside of the traditional
trip, without having to take a lot of extra time.
