The Main Event

This Meet the Baby Alpacas Experience is pure joy, wrapped in fluff and topped with the kind of cuteness you didn’t know you needed.

This heart-warming gift invites you or your loved ones to enjoy a Cria Watch – a delightful 45-minute experience where you’ll meet adorable baby alpacas (called ‘cria’) and their proud mums in a beautiful countryside setting. Taking place between late May and October, right in the prime baby alpaca season, it’s the perfect way to enjoy a wholesome day out with a unique twist.

During your visit, you’ll learn about the baby alpacas and the birthing process, before heading out into the fields to see them up close in their paddocks. Watching them interact, play, and cuddle up to mum is as cute as it sounds, and it’s a memory that’ll stick with you long after the day is over.

Whether you're buying for a family, couple, group of friends, or anyone who’s a fan of quirky animals and outdoor experiences, this is a brilliant choice. It’s especially ideal for younger visitors or those who might not fancy a full alpaca trek but still want to soak up the charm of these gentle creatures.

So if you’re after a gift idea that’s fun, thoughtful, and completely out of the ordinary, look no further. Meeting the baby alpacas is a unique treat for animal lovers, nature enthusiasts, or anyone in need of a dose of cuteness.
