Alpaca Farm Mitzpe Ramon
חוות האלפקות
A farm in the desert raising hundreds of alpacas and llamas, where visitors can feed them and go horseback riding. A popular choice for family trips.
The Alpaca Farm is about 3 kilometers west of town. Alpacas and llamas were brought in from South America in 1987, and the farm now raises several hundred of them. Visitors can enter the enclosures to feed and pet the animals, or ride horses or llamas through the desert. There is also a shop selling wool products. The farm offers simple accommodation. Tickets must be purchased, and animal feed is sold separately. Opening hours change with the seasons, so check in advance before the Sabbath and holidays. Self-driving is the most convenient way to get there.
