You should have asked the guide to speak to you in English, they're all at least bilingual (some of them also speak Portuguese). I did this same excursion and there were people from New Zealand and the UK and the guide explained everything to them in English. By the way, those animals you saw weren't alpacas, they were vicugnas which are their wild ancestors (like wolves are to dogs).
The guide did speak English but only the basics. Initially, we paid for English speaking guide but in the evening they told us that there were not enough people in the group to have an English-speaking guide and we either needed to cancel or take the Spanish guide. The guide did speak English but very poorly. Also, we only had to force him to speak English when we needed to know the time of the stay, for example. During the way, he explained various stories in Spanish and only 2 of us spoke English. I don't think he would start speaking English for the whole group just for us because he talked in Spanish the whole road so he had many stories + we were warned it's not an English-speaking guide. But we did have to speak English with him anyway so we could have an understanding of vital stuff like how long is the stop, for example. The point here is that we didn't understand the long stories he was telling about various locations or even movies and that's why we wanted English speakers not only because we needed to know if we stayed for 5 minutes or 10. As for the animals, the guide himself said it's alpacas so that's why we also assumed so. It's the first time we've seen them in real life, we don't have them in our countries. 😁
