Marta, I hope you see them in Peru! If not you just go a little bit more to the south to Bolivia ;). Near to La Paz there are already places were you can find them!

I absolutely love this spotting, Pieter!
It is so pretty and cute this animal. I would love to also find it some day. I am already due to come back to Peru to visit my friends so perhaps then! :-)
