OUR ANIMALS
The llamas are just the beginning
Eight llamas, three mares, two ponies, four goats, six 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 — included in the price of your stay.
They are wonderfully gentle animals, used to meeting and interacting with people of every size. It's the moment children never forget.

Llamas ×8
By name
- Sid — The alpha male, tricolor: dark head, white chest, rust fleece.
- Paco — The ranch's baby llama, Penelope's cria.
- Penelope — Paco's mother — the two roam the pasture together.
- The llama is South American: domesticated almost 5,000 years ago in the Andes, it is at home in the Cerrado — unlike horses, dogs and cats, which came from elsewhere.
- Soft padded feet like a dog's: 90% less impact on the soil than a horse.
- A camel relative — same family as alpacas, guanacos and vicuñas.
Mares ×3
- Three mares loose on the property, part of the family guests meet at feeding time.
Ponies ×2
- Two ponies, the right size for kids' rides — only children ride.
Goats ×4
- Four very gentle goats, always first in line at feeding time.
Rabbits ×6
- Six rabbits — the little ones' favourite for hand-feeding.
Mini pigs ×2
By name
- Penny — One half of the pair — goes about with Peggy.
- Peggy — The other half — goes about with Penny.
- They are mini pigs: they roam the ranch and show up when food does.

DID YOU KNOW?
Three things about llamas
The llama was domesticated almost 5,000 years ago in the Andes — one of the oldest domestic animals in the world.
With a soft foot like a dog's, the llama does not compact the ground when it walks: 90% less environmental impact than a horse.
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.
Good to know
- The interactive feeding always happens alongside the ranch team and is included in the price of your stay.
- Pony rides for children take place inside the ranch and are charged separately.
