Many people think of giggling children and fluffy photos when they think of llama or alpaca hikes. Sure, children love our animals - but in reality, it's the adults who benefit most from a tour with llamas or alpacas. This article shows you why llama hikes are anything but „kids“ stuff" and what depth there is in travelling together.
In everyday life, we rush from appointment to appointment, our smartphones always at the ready. Llamas and alpacas tick differently: they live in the here and now, don't let themselves be disturbed and set a leisurely pace. Those who hike with them adapt to their rhythm - and experience real deceleration. Suddenly all that matters is the moment, the fresh air and the gentle snorting at your side.
Llamas and alpacas are masters of non-verbal communication. They mirror moods, react sensitively to body language and give us honest feedback - completely without words. For adults who often have to „function“ at work, this is a valuable experience: those who get involved with the animal learn a lot about their own impact and what inner clarity really means.
A llama hike is always teamwork. Humans and animals can only reach their destination together - this trains mindfulness, patience and empathy. At the same time, the trail leads through idyllic landscapes, past meadows, forests and fields. Instead of Netflix and sofa, you experience nature with all your senses and often return more relaxed than after many a wellness weekend.
Llamas are the larger partners among the New World camelids, while alpacas are usually somewhat smaller. With llamas, we meet the animal at eye level - in the truest sense of the word. Some people initially respect this, but what counts here is inner greatness: if you don't take yourself seriously, why should the animal? Chest out, take a deep breath and walk alongside the animal with a clear, friendly attitude - this is exactly what makes a llama hike so special.
Whether it's a team event, stag party, group of friends or family outing: llama and alpaca hikes are a real highlight for adults. Shared experiences bring people together and provide a topic of conversation far beyond the day itself. Many participants report that they have experienced their team or friends in a completely new way.
Llama or alpaca hikes are anything but „kids“ stuff". They are an invitation to leave everyday life behind, rediscover yourself and experience real deceleration - alone or together with others.
