The first records of Cuy come from the ancient Inca civilization along the Andes mountain range in South America. According to legend, the name "cuy" came to be because of the sound the animal makes, "kwee, kwee." The guinea pig is native to the area, which is why the Inca people started raising them for food, creating small farms for breeding as livestock.
