Take a virtual tour of Peru as you crochet this shawl! You and your baby alpaca will start in the Amazon jungle of eastern Peru and travel westward to the Andes Mountains, then over the Cordillera Blanca. Next you’ll ford the Rio Santa, cross the Cordillera Negra, and then you’ll finally end your journey on the western coast as the foaming waves of the Pacific Ocean crash on the shore.

While traveling, you and your baby alpaca will experience a variety of interesting crochet stitches, and at the end of your journey, you will have a luxurious shawl as a memento of your Peruvian adventure.
