Summary: Our tour guide was great and very knowledgeable about the area. My llama’s name is Jimmy and boy we had a blast. My spouse had Wolfie and he was also a good llama. If you have an opportunity to do this tour, do it. The area is very close pretty and we learned a lot about the history and saw some very cool things. After the tour we fed our llamas treats and then we met the rest of the llamas. So much fun!
