Welcome to Zarza Alpacas - the premier alpaca herd in Italy.

With fourteen years experience of breeding alpaca, starting in England, Zarza has an impressive breeding record of white and coloured suri and huacaya alpacas.

We are committed to the natural, chemical-free rearing of these special animals ensuring a stress-free life similar to their natural habitat of the altiplano of Peru. Each year we have a limited number of females and males for sale from high class bloodlines so you too can share in our passion for breeding only the best. If you are looking for pedigree alpacas as a new hobby, or you want to build a country - based business as a change from a pressurised lifestyle, we will help you by offering introductory courses, individual advice and support before you buy and afterwards.... for as long as you have alpacas.
