I cannot recommend this excursion enough. It was a beautiful (and relatively easy) hike, the llamas are quirky and adorable, lunch was delicious, and our guide, Stuart, was fantastic. His knowledge of the area, plants, local eco-issues was amazing. You can tell he truly cares about the land and people. Our next trip to New Mexico we will definitely do... More

Sometimes you read a review, and then when you have your own experience, you are a bit disappointed. Take all the good reviews about Wild Earth Llama Adventures, multiply them by 100 and there you have it. Absolutely fantastic and one of those adventures you are still talking about days later. You pull into the Columbine Wilderness, and that alone... More

We did the Take a Llama to Lunch day hike down the Rio Grande gorge. It was a really enjoyable and interesting day. Stuart is one of the best (probably the best) guides I have met. His knowledge is remarkable and his passion for the environment and his work is infectious. but he is also a really charming, friendly and... More

This excursion has something for everyone. Spectacular scenery, petroglyphs, adorable llamas, great food and a wonderful guide. Owner Stu makes it look easy. But while his manner is laid back and comfortable, he pays enormous attention to every detail. He insists on leading each excursion personally to assure a top quality experience from beginning to end. He's knowledgeable about history,... More

Lunch-with-a-llama is a must-do adventure if you are going to New Mexico. The llamas are sweet, the guide Stuart is the best, and the scenery to the Rio Grande gorge is spectacular. We were introduced to the llamas, gave them treats, and loaded the packs. We descended the 800 feet to the gorge with Stuart educating the group about the... More

Our family hike with the llamas was absolute fun! And Stuart, llama dad/guide was fabulous. Stuart encouraged everyone to just have fun and get to know the llamas, relax and have a great day. He spent time with each family on the hike and managed the llamas (and us) perfectly. His stories were fun and his knowledge of the area... More

My 12-year-old son and I thoroughly enjoyed the llama trek with Stuart and our woolly friend Willow! We hiked down into the Rio Grande Gorge and the scenery was spectacular, along with the opportunity to see petroglyphs, an old gold mine, and amazing geological formations. Stuart was exceptionally knowledgeable about all aspects of the area and provided interesting info regarding... More

When you hear of having lunch with a llama, you know that you are in for a grand and unique adventure. The weather for the day was incredible, the llamas were well behaved, friendly, and incredibly versatile on the four mile hike. Our guide was passionate, genuine, and full of terrific information about the animals and surrounding areas, making for... More

This is a MUST DO day trip if you are staying in or near Taos, NM! Stuart was a fantastic guide and makes this trip an education of the local New Mexico wilderness, geography, history, flora, fauna, and you get to learn about the Llamas he has rescued that will be carrying your gear and lunch. The lunch was excellent... More
