Up Close with Andean Alpacas: A Gentle Meet & Greet in Cullionbeg.
On a small farm at Culleen Beg in Cullionbeg, County Westmeath, Andean Alpacas opens its gates for a deliberately short, easy-pace Meet & Greet designed for younger children. Participants are introduced to the herd — including baby crias — with opportunities to feed the animals, take photos and, depending on the ages present, walk a pair of smaller alpacas on a route considerably shorter than the operator’s full trekking experience, before finishing with light refreshments.
