Company Description

Enjoy guided llama trekking through the majestic San Juan Mountains of southwest Colorado without carrying a backpack! Let our gentle and well trained llama trekking team do all the work as you enjoy a safe, authentic, and rewarding wilderness hiking experience.

Our Trips

Our llama treks vary from full day (picnic) hikes to two day hiking trips or longer. We have trips for the experienced hiker as well as for the entire family. We can tailor a trip to suit your needs and ability.
San Juan Mountains Llama Treks provides hearty meals, snacks and beverages, as well as all your camping gear for your back country adventure. You’ll be surprised at what a comfortable camp you will have when you hike with us. Besides tents, sleeping mattress and bags, there are roll-up tables and stools for the dining area and paraflies to keep the rain off. Forget the freeze-dried normal backpacker’s meal. Our llamas carry coolers for ice water, fresh fruits and vegetables, meats and frozen desserts! Please let us know well in advance about any dietary restrictions you may have such as vegetarian status, and we will do our best to accomodate you.

San Juan Mountains Llama Treks can plan an overnight hike for as few as four people or up to a group of eight. Eight persons with two guides keep the group small enough so that everyone can enjoy the wilderness and the solitude of the backcountry experience. It usually allows each hiker to lead a llama for the duration of the trip. The overnight hikes are rated as leisurely, moderate, or adventurous. On leisurely treks, the elevation gain is gradual and the campsite for the night is reached after covering approximately 2.5 miles. On moderate treks, expect approximately 1,000 feet elevation gain and 3-6 miles to the campsite. Adventurous treks are geared toward more than one or two nights on the trail. All treks take in the picturesque beauty of the mountains, with numerous wildflowers in mid-summer and the occasional sighting of deer, elk, turkey and other wildlife.
