The Alpaca Farm of Tierruca: A Window into the Sustainable World of Camelids

Welcome to the Alpaca Farm of Tierruca, an oasis of tranquility and harmony in the green valleys of Cantabria. Here, in this small but charming livestock farm, you can immerse yourself in the fascinating universe of alpacas and discover how these wonderful creatures are the heart of a sustainable and environmentally-friendly lifestyle.

History and Tradition

Our story dates back to 2012, when Pili and Paco, a nature-loving couple, decided to leave the hectic urban life behind and embark on a new adventure in the countryside. Driven by their passion for animals and their desire to live more ecologically, they embarked on the creation of an alpaca farm, becoming pioneers of this noble craft in the region.

Since then, we have traveled a path full of learning and dedication, transforming our farm into a true sanctuary for these majestic camelids. Today, our herd of Huacaya alpacas grazes peacefully in the green meadows, enjoying a full and healthy life, while we are proud to be able to share their legacy with visitors from around the world.

Sustainability and Harmony with Nature

At Alpacas de la Tierruca, sustainability is more than a philosophy, it is a way of life. Our livestock management practices are designed to minimize environmental impact and promote a balance between human activity and the natural environment.

The alpacas, with their soft and delicate footsteps, move gracefully through our fields, without damaging the fragile vegetation. Their highly efficient digestive system allows them to feed on a minimal amount of grass, thus avoiding the overexploitation of resources. Furthermore, their droppings are transformed into a natural and low-carbon footprint fertilizer, which we use to nourish our crops.

Our philosophy extends beyond the farm, as we work closely with local artisans to transform alpaca fiber into beautiful textile products, from soft blankets and pillows to elegant garments. All of this is done without the use of chemicals or polluting processes, preserving the purity and quality of this natural fiber.
