Reviews
It's a good place to visit. But quiet, not impressive, with the price 25$ for individuals. Normally, kids and young couples may walk with alpacas, not everyone. I prefer that if a whole family visits the place, it's better to revise the fee for who is willing to hold the alpaca and for the rest to free access or to reduce the prize
This was a fun family adventure a short distance away from Edinburg!
Tickets: There are four time slots available and I recommend purchasing online. I saw a family purchase there so I dont think its a big deal if you dont. The time slots allow a group of people to get an assigned alpacas for 45minutes to guide the alpaca and your family to various spots for photos. Each family gets one alpaca. We got three 1years olds to help train them. After 40mins, the staff starts guiding your timed group to the barn. Here you can feed your alpaca and others at the conclusion of your time.
Alpaca: They are really calm animals. Occasionally they will try to run but you just have to hold them tight and they will stop. The owners and staff are walking around to help if anything were to happen. Its really safe. They are smaller than llamas.
Other animals: They had farm dogs roaming around that were very friendly! They had a flock of ducks, an ostrich, sheeps, llamas, chickens, and bunnies to look at in other parts of the farm. (Which you can walk around to see with your assigned alpaca).
Other items: The farm has a small cafe truck and a bar around for drinks after walking and feeding your alpaca. The restrooms look cute and ours were clogged the day we were there so plan on going to the restroom before driving out.
They also had a gift shop with a select amount of items. We got keychains for $5 each as momentos.
Time here felt straight out of a story book, got to spend time with my friends celebrating an early Christmas. Enjoyed being able to spend some time walking around and taking pictures with the Apacas. I highly recommend booking their air Bnb. Had all the amenities, and was beautiful decorated. I think it was called casa suri. PS S’mores the alpaca is super friendly
I love that the staff is so friendly and the fact that respect your space to enjoy your time there while still being equally available to you, should you need anything! They always have the cutest decorations and the best part, of course, the freaking adorable alpacas! It's definitely a place to visit.
We had the best time at Alpaquita Ranch! We loved all of the photo ops and how friendly and well cared for the alpacas are. It is a very unique experience in that you actually get to walk your own alpaca. We had a fantastic conversation with Giovanni, the owner, and you can really tell how passionate he is about his business. I would recommend this experience to anyone!
My family and I stayed at the Casa Suri….for $385 we stayed 1 night in a very cute cabin like home with all appliances and utensils.
The good: my family and I went on a “tour” they really hand you an alpaca that you walk around until you are ready to return it (no longer than 45minutes). There is plenty of photo op opportunities with other animals on the property such as bunnies, chickens, goats, sheep, lamas, and geese. In the morning we were able to feed the alpacas in the front yard which the kids loved.
The bad: There was only one really sweet employee who seemed to love her job! The remaining of the employees seem to just go through the motions. When we got in they were still cleaning the cabin/home we were staying at from the previous occupants so we had to wait. There was no Wifi, it did not work at all and there is no signal. I did mention this to personal (may have been the owner) and they rebooted the internet but still no service. The breakfast was supposed to be at 9AM (this was told to me by the employee who checked my family and I in) and we received it at 10AM with checkout being 11AM…...the breakfast was strawberries, yogurt, croissants, and orange juice…..I had asked for creamer the night before and that morning for coffee but they brought flavored syrup as that’s all they had.
I did come prepared so I brought my own eggs, ham, and coffee. I would say if you stay overnight make sure you bring all your own things and be prepared for no cell service and no wifi. For the area the price is a little steep ($385 for 20 hours) and I expected something different as the pictures on the website were misleading. My family and I did enjoy some quality time playing cards and board games.
I loved the Ranch. Very clean & maintained. Had a unique experience walking my Alpaquita. The only thing is that it is in the middle of nowhere. But, it is definitely worth vising with the children.
Found this gem of a place on Facebook and I’m so glad I did! Loved the environment and all the animals were super friendly. Can’t wait to visit again!
