Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE ANIMALS

Face time with friendly alpacas

Expect hands‑on time with domesticated South American camelids: you’ll meet the herd, brush them, feed them and enjoy close, calm interactions designed to familiarize visitors with the animals’ behavior and fleece.

THE CRAFT

A barn workshop that turns fleece into a keepsake

The second act of the visit is a practical workshop in the barn where you discover aspects of alpaca wool and create a small item to take home, connecting the animal encounter directly to a tactile skill.

THE SETTING

An intimate farm atmosphere in Aveiro’s countryside

This is a deliberately small, personal experience on a farm near Nariz that emphasizes low‑key, hands‑on learning and quiet time with the animals rather than high‑volume tourism.
