If you are looking for a special experience to remember forever, do not miss this post and find out how to reach the Alpaca Farm, southern Israel.
I think this article will remain in the hearts of many, as it will be in mine. I will tell you about a unique adventure, full of emotions, capable of remaining indelible like few things in life.
The panorama that surrounded this sensational experience is the Negev desert, arid ocher earth a south of Israel on the border with Egypt. Fertile land thanks to the presence of brackish water, it is in fact characterized by the presence of boundless oases, farms and vegetable cultivation and finally Israeli villages in the middle of the golden sand dunes.
Meeting with Alpaca Farm
It is precisely in this amazing nature that, while exploring on the road near Mitzpe Ramon, I saw in the distance a farm hidden among the vegetation and the yellow hills. The discovery of “Alpaca Farm” along my path in the desert totally changed my day and created that perfect memory of an unforgettable trip.
The farm is made up of a main alpaca farm which provides substantial economic development to the small reality created in the desert highlands thanks to the wool processing. "Alpaca farm" is a destination for visitors who come from all over State of Israel and the whole world to be fascinated by this enchanted world created by a couple wishing to export an original reality lived in the past among the villages of the Indians, descendants of the Incas.
A horse ride in the desert
The farm's location in the Negev's pristine and barren dunes is particularly suitable for horseback riding. The Dvir family, special people and rich in humanity, have trained wild horses to allow us all to admire a spectacle of nature: the desert highlands during sunset.
During the ride on horseback I saw the dunes change color, first dazzled by the light of the warm sun and finally enchanted and fascinated by the positive energy that the landscape gave. The contact with nature and the union between man and creation, surrounded by the shades of twilight, have generated important reflections on the meaning of travel and more generally on life. To get a clear idea of ​​the journey on horseback in the desert I suggest this video that exactly recalls the unique sensations you feel.
Which path to choose
The horseback adventure is divided into three explorations chosen by the visitor. For the walk of "Rim Ride”The duration of the trip is about an hour and a half and the trail starts from the farm itself, arriving at the border of the Ramon Carter up to a breathtaking panoramic view. The race continues on the flat paths of the desert hills that eventually lead back to the beginning of the trail on horseback.
The walk is slow and suitable for anyone, even children over nine years old (seven years for those who are familiar with horses). In my opinion another element not to be underestimated is that no previous experience is required or trained physique. You can ride in a group with a maximum of 15 people and in the case of larger groups they can divide up to better appreciate nature and the peace that the horse ride emanates.
The walk recommended for those who are already familiar with the horse is the aforementioned "Extended Rim”Lasting about two and a half hours. The extended horseback ride offers riding trails on plateaus, rocky canyons and finally naquebs or ancient paths. The experienced riders, at times at a gallop, can immerse themselves in a magical reality, in paths that international judges describe as "incredible".
A truly unique riding experience is called "The real thing”Where you descend along the main crater in trot and gallop and last about four hours.
If you wish, after sunset, try star gazing in the Negev desert among the dunes in the moonlight and wake up in the morning with a yoga session among the Negevian craters as the sun rises, "Alpaca Farm"Has breathtaking suites available where you can experience unrepeatable emotions.
I absolutely recommend that you book this unique experience as soon as possible because it will remain an unforgettable precious memory, as only Israel can give.
