Why llamas: Llamas are currently an underutilized eco-friendly way to transport gear and supplies in the high mountains. With the growth of tourism, vulnerable mountain ecosystems are in jeopardy and require responsible management. This is why we use the native llamas just as the ancient Incas did.
In ancient times llamas were key to the success and survival of the Inca culture. Now we can utilize them to carry our supplies with minimal impact. Once on the trail, you will truly understand the power of these animals and why people have been packing with them for centuries, it’s just in their DNA. Their feet have a leather pad similar to that of a dog, and a split toe that allows for larger surface area and gripping ability. When it comes to rocky, steep, and tough-to-navigate terrain llamas excel where some pack stock might fall short. They are smaller than horses and thus they eat and drink much less in comparison, making them much more low-impact and eco-friendly animals.
