Trekking with alpacas near Ferrara

Romino, Cosmo, Kuka and Fantasy. These names will soon steal your heart!

They will be your companions in adventure on this alpaca walk: together with a guide you will venture into the natural setting of Bondeno, in the province of Ferrara.

And between one caress and another, in about 2 hours you will get to know the territory and these sweet animals!

What we will do

I will be waiting for you at the selected time at the meeting point in Bondeno (FE). To welcome you in my outfit will be me, your guide on this alpaca walk!

On your arrival, I will give a brief presentation on the alpaca: what an animal it is, how it behaves, how to approach it, and all the information you need to live this experience without worries. I will not fail to describe the protagonists of this walk, among whom will be Romino, Cosmo, Kuka, Fantasy, Franz and Nils, all with their own unique character! We will therefore visit them in their enclosure and then take them out for a walk.

In the company of the alpacas assigned to us, we will walk around the estate. Along the way, we will discover two neighbouring farms: we will cross land dotted with apple and walnut orchards, a speciality of this area. We will be guided along the route by the scent of these fruits and, if the terrain is passable, we will also cross rows of apples!

After walking about 2 km over mixed terrain, we will return to the meeting point. The alpaca walk will last 1.5 hours; the experience will last a total of 2 hours.

The package includes an entrance ticket to the estate park, so you can stay longer and visit the farm on your own. If you wish, you can ask the guide some questions and discover some interesting facts about the farm animals! Finally, if you wait until dusk, our extensive natural setting will give you a spectacular sunset!
