Lonely Planet review for Reserva Nacional Pampas Galeras
This national reserve is a vicuña sanctuary, high in the mountains on the road to Cuzco. It's the best place in Peru to see these shy animals, though tourist services are virtually nonexistent. Every other year, in late May or early June, is the biannual chaccu, when hundreds of Andean villagers round up the vicuñas for shearing and three festive days of traditional ceremonies, with music and dancing, and of course, drinking.
