Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Enclosure surfaces can be uneven or straw-covered—closed-toe shoes protect feet and improve footing.
Bring a camera but move slowly
Alpacas tolerate quiet cameras and posed photos; sudden movements can startle them so keep interactions calm.

Feeding is allowed but must use farm-provided bowls to protect animal diets and safety.
