Alpaca Farm
Inspired by their love for South American wildlife and culture, Ilan and Na'ama Dvir flew 188 camelids (llamas and alpacas) here from Chile.

The animals are being raised for their wool, which is for sale as hats and scarves. If your timing is right, you can see such activities as shearing, washing, spinning, weaving and, for kids, there is a llama ride. You can also stay in their attractive hillside suites.

Bio Ramon

The 'bedroom hatches' mean you can even view nocturnal animals, but the knowledgeable staff recommend coming as late in the day as possible for best sightings. The Bio Ramon is just down from the visitors centre.
