What the trek feels like

You arrive at the farm, check in with your guide, meet and be matched with an alpaca or llama, then set off together for a guided, one-hour walk. The pace and structure are deliberate and social—each person handles their own animal under the guide’s supervision—so the emphasis is on connection and a relaxed, private experience.
