Country of origin
Chinchillas come from the Andes, South America. This area was ruled by the Incas before the Conquistadores occupied the land. The Andes, approximately 7500 km* long, extend from Venezuela to Cap Horn. The highest mountain of the Andes is the Anconcagua (6959 m**). The vegetation of
this mountain range is as expressive as its fauna because the Andes pass through all climatic zones of South America.
