Alpaca Adventure & Nature Trail

You'll have the opportunity to feed, pet, and learn all about these charming animals, with plenty of time for photos.
After bonding with your alpaca friends, temporarily say goodbye as you set off on a 1.4km nature trail, where you'll discover enchanting fairy houses nestled along the path.
