Pack your bags and plan a trip to the Andes mountains to catch a glimpse of a guanaco, the wild cousin of the domesticated llama. Guanacos are believed to have originated in the central plains of North America approximately 40 million years ago. However, they gradually migrated to South America, where they were domesticated around 4,500 BCE, gaining the llama moniker.
