Guanaco, Lama guanicoe, Camelidae. The guanaco is a camelid native to South America. They are found in the arid desert region of the altiplano of Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina. The colour varies very little (unlike the domestic llama), ranging from a light brown to dark cinnamon and shading to white underneath. Guanacos have grey faces and small, straight ears. The name guanaco comes from the South American language Quechua word wanaku (old spelling, huanaco). Young guanacos are called chulengos.
