Montane guinea pig (Cavia tschudii)


Montane guinea pigs have been an important part of the indigenous people’s lives in the Peruvian Andes for centuries.

They are known locally as “cuy” and have been traditionally raised for their meat, which is considered a delicacy in this region. Their importance to the local culture is evidenced by their presence in archaeological sites and their depiction in ancient art.
