Absolutely, the most amazing gift ever!

What an amazing day. Such beautiful and friendly Alpaca’s. The walk and information guide called Olivea was very nice. She gave us very interesting information about our individual alpaca and also about the Alpha in general. I would most definitely recommend it to anyone who loves Alpacas, as much as I do.
