Inspirational Project - Inspirational Project for llamas - and amazing day out with llamas for our family. Everyone there was so friendly. And being up close with llamas (not too close!) was great.

Excellent - The visit was wonderful, I learned a lot about the llamas and how fun it was to observe them. We also enjoyed a special traditional lunch, it was delicious. I would return because the service was very good.
