We booked a day tour departing from Seoul and Alpaca World was the first of four stops. The farm is on very hilly terrain. So expect twist and turns on the road and also plenty of walking up and down at the farm.

Upon entering the farm, we were led into an enclosure and given a handful of dried feed for the Alpacas. Meanwhile the furry stars got ready on a nearby hill. Once the gate opened, they sprinted down the hill, past our enclosure fence within touching distance, then into our enclosure where they made a beeline for any outstretched hands.

It's perfectly safe to feed Alpacas from the palm as they pick up food with their lips. You might get saliva and dirt left behind as a thank you :). If you do mind, prepare gloves in advance. In the frenzy for food they wouldn't stay still so don't expect them to pose patiently. I'm also not sure if this experience is a special arrangement for large tour groups or not. But if you miss this segment, there's still a chance to get close after they've returned to their pen.

As excitement over the Alpacas subside, and you still have the time and energy, there are other animals and birds to see. A few were quite exotic; I saw a Fennec fox for the first time.

In hindsight the weather was perfect when we visited in end Feb 2024. The sun was shining brightly but the air was crisp and quite cold. In summer it would be a hot and sticky experience which I doubt I'd enjoy.

Side note: If you buy hot beverage to go from the cafe, it comes with a cute pink alpaca world cup sleeve (see my photo). We kept ours as a souvenir.
