as warm as your llamas' wool
You have to take a few liberties for this to work. I suggest
Thank you for the welcome you've given us, which has been as vast as your mountains, as dazzling as your lapis lazuli, and as warm as your llamas' wool.

Apparently Chile and Afghanistan are the only two countries where lapis lazuli is mined.

the comfort of your llamas' wool
Thank you for receiving us so warmly, for welcoming us into your mountains' embrace, dazzling us with your lapiz lazuli, and lending us the comfort of your llamas' wool.

: I don't think this quite works, because they're metaphorically describing three different aspects of the welcome they've received.

I like your solution better, thanks Phil! I was trying to avoid repeating "warm" from "warm welcome."

Spanish term (edited):
el abrigo de la lana de sus Llamas
your mountain Llamas' 'shear' wooliness
Llama assumes the reader knows what such animal is. It may be general knowledge, but not on the British Isles. So mountain arguably helps to poinpoint the goat-like altitude.
Shear deliberately instead of sheer.

: Llamas are common in UK zoos and menageries, as are their smaller cameloid counterparts, Alpacas// Can't believe you've agreed with this sheer woolly-minded answer, Robert!;

: Llama is well known in the UK. There are no elephants or lions either but everyone knows what they are!
