OUR ANIMALS

The llamas are just the beginning

Llamas, mares, ponies, goats, rabbits and two mini pigs — a family raised free across the ranch's 92,000 m².

THE FEEDING RITUAL

Every morning, at 9 am

The ranch's signature: each morning, guests feed the animals alongside the team that cares for them. They are wonderfully gentle animals, used to meeting people of every size — it's the moment children never forget.

DID YOU KNOW?

Three things about llamas

  1. The llama was domesticated almost 5,000 years ago in the Andes — one of the oldest domestic animals in the world.

  2. With a soft, padded foot like a dog's, the llama treads more lightly on the ground than a hoofed animal — and barely compacts the soil when it walks.

  3. The llama is a relative of the camel — the same family as alpacas, guanacos and vicuñas.

What our guests say

My daughters loved feeding the animals — everything done with so much care by the people who look after them.
