Walk with llamas
| Llama trekking Llamas are found in the highest parts of South America, where they are known as the Truck of the Andes, for their ability to walk long distances and carry goods. And the good news is that you can go llama trekking in the UK - a VERY different way to get active, get walking, enjoy the countryside & beautiful scenery, breathe in fresh air, blow away those cobwebs & have fun with new friends. Llamas make excellent field pets, thanks to their hardiness, and good companions for lone animals who would welcome a friend, such as ponies. They are also increasingly used for trekking, and to guard other stock such as sheep, since they are very protective When you're planning a walk with a llama, please check before you buy to see what the booking procedure is on each of the web sites, and do check locations, T&Cs, and things such as fitness requirements, minimum ages etc. |
