Suitability

Who it's for

Who this trek suits—and who should think twice.

1
Active FamiliesFamilies with older, calm children can share llamas or have children walk alongside as observers; very young children who are not steady walkers are not suitable.
2
Nature WalkersWalkers who enjoy slow, observational walks will appreciate the gentle pace and the chance to watch birds of prey and other farm animals from the valley.
3
First‑time Animal TrekkersIdeal for newcomers: llamas lead at a comfortable speed and provide a tranquil companion without the need for riding experience.
4
Very Young Children or Non‑walkersNot recommended unless very young children are good walkers—participants may need to share a llama with an adult or remain as observers.
