Full description
But how soft are the Marches?
We never thought we'd associate this adjective with a region, but our walk with alpacas made us change our minds. Take part in this soft adventure near Genga: in the company of a hiking guide and his friendly animal, you will walk to discover the territory of the Pesaro Apennines.
A 1-hour experience in the Gola della Rossa and Frasassi Park, among flora and fauna.
What we will do
The appointment is 5 minutes before 15:00 at the meeting point at Piano di Rocchetta near Genga (AN). We will be welcomed by the excursion guide who will accompany us on this soft adventure!
The experience will begin with a brief introduction during which we will be introduced to the real protagonist of the day: Macchia, a friendly alpaca reminiscent of the dragon from The Neverending Story! We will also be explained how to interact with the animal and we will have a few minutes to get to know each other.
It is then that our walk in the Gola della Rossa and Frasassi Park can begin: we will venture along a dirt track through woods of downy oaks, maples and hornbeams characteristic of thecentral Apennines. All of this in the company of the Macchia alpaca, which we will be able to hold by the halter, sharing the lead with the other participants. In the meantime, the guide will not fail to provide us with explanations on the territory and the fauna and flora that inhabit this natural scenery of the Marches.
After covering about 4.5 km with an altitude difference of 30 metres, we will finally return to the meeting point. Here we will also be greeted by the other alpacas on the estate: Moka, Chicco, Knock and Nebbia! The experience will last a total of 1 hour.
Who it is aimed at
The experience is suitable for ages 5 and up; children under the age of 18 must be accompanied on the walk by an adult.
The route is not accessible to people with mobility problems.
