Furry fun! - On a beautiful sunny day in a stunning place what more can you ask for than hanging out with a bunch of gentle teddy bear sheep camels. They really do smile!

Authentic And Well Organized Alpacas Farm - The tour was well organized - English guide or Chinese speaking guide. It was raining but they provide rain coats. You get to pat the male Alpacas - more friendly. And feed the female Alpacas and their babies.
Gift shop to buy Alpacas products.

Excellent Alpacas Farm Tour - Excellent tour by guide Helena who took the English speaking group. She patiently explain the culture of Alpacas, dos and don'ts in petting/ hugging the males , females and babies. The animals are tame and friendly and looking for feed.
Excellent care of a coffee break and Alpacas cookies on a rainy winter day - rain coats are provided for guests.

Awesome afternoon visit - We had an amazing time at the llama farm! Our kids (10 and 12) thought the llamas were hilarious (even considering that 2 of us got spit on). The mamas and babies were super hungry and feeding them was our favorite part!

A little bit of magic, a little bit of Alpaca - The views were amazing, lovely host who was so knowledgeable, the experience of being up close and feeding the alpacas was awesome, and topped off at the end with a hot drink and home made biscuits, totally recommend this visit
