Llamero

Llameros run llama caravans throughout the Andes of South America.

During the Inca Empire, llameros were high-ranking officials tasked with managing the emperor's llama and alpaca herds, and facilitating trade and communication throughout the empire. Nowadays, roads have reduced the need for llameros, and they now mostly serve isolated mountain villages inaccessible by road.[Documentary 1]
