In South America llamas have been treasured as pack animals for several thousand years. On to their backs wandering tribes people would put all their worldly possessions as they travelled from camp to camp.

And it would be the llamas that would carry their wares for sale - often clothing and rugs made from llama fibre - to market

Until the arrival of the railway, llamas were the only way to bring silver and other minerals out from the Bolivian and Peruvian mines.

Even today llamas  fulfil an important transportation role in Andean life.

In the U.S.A llama trekking has been growing as a very popular activity for a decade or more. Some trails that were closed to horses and pack mules in National Parks have been re-opened for llamas because the llamas do not cause damage to the trails, eating far less of the vegetation and being much lighter of foot.

In the U.K RoseLand Llamas are delighted to have supplied llamas to two leading trekking ventures: one in Snowdonia and the other in Dorset in an area of outstanding beauty where the coastline has recently been declared a World Heritage site.
