Llama trekking in the UK

Llamas are found in the highest parts of South America, where they are known as the Truck of the Andes, for their ability to walk long distances and carry goods. And the good news is that you can go llama trekking in the UK - a VERY different way to get active, get walking, enjoy the countryside & beautiful scenery, breathe in fresh air, blow away those cobwebs & have fun with new friends.  There's even a llama song!
 
Llamas come in all sorts of colours and their fleece is much in demand for clothing  They stand about 4 feet high at the shoulder.  They are very alert so make good walking companions with their gentle, friendly and intelligent natures.
Llamas make excellent field pets, thanks to their hardiness, and good companions for lone animals who would welcome a friend, such as ponies.  They are also increasingly used for trekking, and to guard other stock such as sheep, since they are very protective
 
When you're planning a walk with a llama, please check to see what the booking procedure is on each of the web sites.
