Traditional textiles from South America are primarily associated with rich colors and specific ornamentation, which was once strongly marked by symbolism. In the region of the Peruvian Andes the wool of alpaca is a popular fiber used for production on clothes, e.g. ponchos. Regional clothes were dyed with the use of natural plant or animal pigments. Currently, the traditional textiles attract the attention of tourists, who are willing to purchase the fabric or ready costumes at local markets.
