Answer;

The llama and the alpaca were used as beasts of burden in the Andes.

Step-by-step explanation;

-The Andean animal used as a beast of burden is an Alpaca and the Llamas. They are docile, fluffy animals that can withstand the cold of the mountains. As such, they make excellent work animals.
