    Calabrian Alpacas have the only Alpacas in Calabria, our alpacas are raised on a small farm where they are heavily socialised and used to human contact. They are therefore very inquisitive and gentle towards children. The backdrop to our walks is a mature pine forest opening up to the beach at Colomaio 1 with the backdrop of pizzo town. The mountainous background is also magnificent especially at sunset . The alpaca you will get to handle will create a bond with you throughout the walk and you will be able to get some interactive videos and selfies on the beach to remember this walk forever and able you to share this experience back home with family and friends.
