More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out of the minivan into a green hush — pines pressing in, a cool mountain air that seems to slow the day. Alpacas peer across a recreated Andean slope, curious and calm, while paths through the forest invite slow exploration. After feeding sessions and animal encounters, the tour slips south to the ferry crossing that spills you onto Nami Island’s long tree-lined avenues, where broad planes and riverside views push your pace into a gentler rhythm.
