You'll be guided by a "Foodie", a local "buddy" able to explain every detail of the selected restaurants, their preparations, and the relevant curiosities. We accept only small groups because we want to focus on a genuine exchange and give each person the highest attention possible.

Our guests will be welcomed by me and my wife Sara at the paddock where the animals graze waiting for the departure for the walk. For us it is a priority that guests are educated to respect the animal, then we will explain to them the distinctive, food and behavioral characteristics of alpacas and llamas and we will show them how to approach and lead them during the walk. One of the characteristics of these animals is docility and slow walking, which make their company relaxing. The animals will not be ridden but led to the lead. Before departure we will gather them and assign one to each guest, and for each we will describe their character peculiarities, because each animal is different from the others. We will walk in single file and along the way we will always be available to answer questions and curiosities or to help those who need them. Upon returning, guests will have the opportunity to give their adventure companions a small prize in food, which we provide. The experience will end with a visit to the farm, to get to know the females and the cria (puppies) who do not participate in the walks, and to view the woolen products. Other things to note guests will come into direct contact with the animals so that, if they are not afraid of them, they will enjoy a unique experience
