Llama
trekking is a great way to experience the unspoiled wilderness,
near Taos and Santa Fe New Mexico. Our signature llama trekking
day hike offers a taste of the wilderness for those who would like
to spend a very special day hiking and exploring in the majestic
Sangre de Cristo Mountains or Rio Grande Gorge, with our experienced
guides and wooly hiking companions.
On
the trail, our gentle, sure-footed llamas will carry your gear,
while experienced naturalist guides share their knowledge of southern
Rocky Mountain ecology: native flora and fauna; edible and medicinal
plants; natural and regional history; and wilderness living skills.
After
an inspiring hike at your own pace, our guides will prepare a sumptuous
feast for you in a pristine wilderness setting. Our llamas pack
in all the fresh ingredients to make a magnificent gourmet lunch;
complete with fresh fruits and garden salads, hearty sandwiches
on fresh baked breads, natural sodas, delicious desserts to tempt
your sweet tooth, and some of the most spectacular scenery in the
Southwest. (All ages and fitness levels accommodated)
Day
Hikes in the Rio Grande Gorge! (Spring/Fall)
For
early and late season day hikes, when high country conditions may
not be suitable for mountain travel, we offer scenic day hikes into
the Rio Grande Gorge in the recently designated Rio Grande del Norte National Monument, where desert and
mountain eco-systems meet at the bottom of a volcanic rift in the
earth 800 feet deep!
