What is Llama Trekking?

How does it work?

Join us for a single day escape, or a multi-day wilderness adventure. Our friendly, knowledgeable guides and "llovable" llamas will help you create the wilderness experience of a lifetime.

On the trail, our gentle and sure-footed llamas will carry your gear, leaving your body, mind, and spirit unburdened to enjoy the beauty and wonder of Northern New Mexico's Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The pace on our treks is non-competitive, with the emphasis on enjoying yourself in the backcountry. We specialize in seeking out trails that are less traveled, offering our guests a true wilderness experience.

After an inspiring hike through some of America's remaining ancient forests, we will set up a base camp in the heart of the wilderness. From there, we set out on day hikes to discover crystal-clear lakes and climb mountain peaks. There will also be plenty of time to relax around camp and feel the peace that being in the wilderness can bring.

Our staff of experienced naturalist guides will add to the enjoyment of your wilderness adventure with their extensive knowledge of native plants and their uses, local wildlife, natural/regional history, forest ecology, and wilderness skills. Our guides are professionally trained and certified, and take every precaution to ensure a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable time for all. We feel very much at home in the mountains and desert of New Mexico, and hope that you will too.

"Backcountry Gourmet" meals are served on all of our trips. Our llamas pack in a full backcountry kitchen; including plenty of fresh ingredients to prepare an exciting blend of traditional and innovative cuisine. Our menu features a variety of Italian, Asian, Middle Eastern, and regional favorites. Our head guide doubles as a chef in the off-season, creating new signature dishes for our trekking adventures. Please inform us of any dietary restrictions or preferences, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
