It's a beautiful volcano, and the lama completes the picture, but at the same time I was a bit sad because only the day before we were so close - but we had to turn down from high camp because of very strong winds.

Llama Country

Voted 10/10

I have never actually seen on in the mountains, were they friendly?

The ones in Sajama NP are both curious and apprehensive, so, when we were looking at them from a safe distance, some looked back at us, as if standing guard, while the rest kept on grazing. Approaching them real slowly worked only up to a point, then they moved away. Not abruptly, but deliberately, as if to maintain a safe distance. On another occasion, on the altiplano near the Cordillera Real, we encountered a herd with a handler and they were much more docile.
