Walking with Alpacas

Today i want to share a little different experience.
My Family and I went to visit an Alpaca Family and took them for a Walk.
Come with us and enjoy some cute Pictures of Alpacas

We drove to a to an small Alpaca Farm today where they have 5 of them. We have been Lucky enough to take those cuties for a short walk.

If you you don´t know Alpacas belong to the camelid Family and are native in South America. They are often mistaken for their closely relatives the Llamas.

But hey are bit smaller then their relatives.

Their fur is amazingly soft and used to produce blankets, cloves, hats, sweaters and all kind of textiles. They have high quality wool and the prices of for their wool is quiet expensive because it does not grow so fast.

They have been very gentle and easy to walk, though they would stop a lot to eat the fresh grass along the way.

Our Guide told us that they can be a bit stubborn sometimes. Fortunately it was not the case with us.

But sometimes they want to go a bite faster an start dragging you behind.

It was fun running a bit with them. Though they would also stop and wait for their fellows.

There are tours offered for people with issues like depressions or autism which i can understand. The gentle characters well as there cute appearance makes one very happy and you can easily forget your problems. Just watching them brings a smile on most peoples face.

Alpaca tours have become very popular recently and i have to admit it was delightful to spend some time with this amazing animals.

Eventually, we brought them back to their paddock. They continued eating of course.

i really love to watch them eating with their long necks and funny hairstyle.

Here the whole gang.

We would love to continue walking them back home!

I have not expected it to be so much fun. It is really enjoyable to visit them and fun to meet them in person. I can definitely recommend you to take some Alpacas for a walk. You will not regret it.

It was really cool to meet them and learn something about this creatures.

I hope you enjoyed the pictures and if you have any question, please let me know.

Have a nice evening.
