A must for all lovers of and people interested in alpacas and llamas.
Shortly after your arrival you will be escorted to our themed tenting area where you will be offered a welcoming drink of either traditional mint tea or tea/coffee/soft drink. You will be told interesting facts about these distant relations of the camel, their origins and how they have evolved via the Inca tribes in South America through to modern day distribution in many other notable areas of the world including Great Britain.
You will then have the opportunity to learn about the different types of fleeces and their uses, take part in a fleece identification test and then have a go at hand spinning some fleece into wool.
There will be a close up/hands on session with some alpacas after which you can visit the paddocks to choose the llama that you would like to take for a walk round the farm paths (please note that llamas are just walked not ridden). It is not compulsory but, if you like, either for the duration of or after your llama walk you can be dressed up in traditional Andean costume and be photographed with your llama.
After walking your llama you will then sit down to a picnic style buffet served in either our themed tent or in our coffee shop, depending on weather conditions.
After your experience you are free to wander round the park for as long as you like. The experience lasts approx 2.5 hours but the farm park is open until 5pm.
The Andean Experience is £39.00 for two people which includes everything in the Andean Experience (food,drink etc), feed to give to the animals, a souvenir photograph of your experience and admission to all of the parks other facilities for the day.
