Farming a herd of the exotic alpacas and llamas, the unique Alpaca Farm - חוות האלפקות organizes a range of activities from feeding the animals to wool production workshops in the local factory. Each accommodations unit has its own kitchenette and a terrace with hammock in front. The farm is peacefully located in the Negev Desert, 2.5 mi from Mitzpe Ramon. Horses, donkeys, angora sheep, camels and many other animals are also farmed there. The area includes various hiking trails. Guests can join the farm staff for hand-feeding the alpacas in the morning. Small children are allowed to ride the llamas, alpacas and donkeys. You can practice painting, weaving and knitting in the ambiance of a stone hut. Activities like outdoor training, horseback riding, yoga and alpaca picnics can be organized upon prior reservation. There is a kiosk with soft drinks and snacks. A barbecue is available as well. The impressive Ramon Crater can be reached in a 15-minute drive.

Company info

The Dvir Family had started the farm in 1987, back when it was Ilan and Naama -a young couple with a dream to live alongside animals in a non-harmful way. Since then, the family grew with 6 children, hundreds of animals and thousands of guests who became part of the Alpaca Family. We love meeting new people and telling our funny stories of living on a remote farm. But more than anything else we love to be close to ground, taking care of our beloved animals and watching nature as it unfolds in front of us every day.

Property info

Our peaceful and relaxing farm is located in the heart of the desert, hidden between the surrounding hills, far away from any roads or settlements. Our guests share the space with hundreds of Alpacas, Llamas, horses and our loyal shepherd dogs. There is nothing like waking up to a beautiful desert sunrise, with a coffee on your private balcony overlooking the farm or climbing on top of the hill to gaze at an endless sunset. All of our accommodation options are cozy and fully equipped with everything you need for a comfortable and immersive desert experience: - Our cabins offer a private and cozy desert experience. With a private balcony, a kitchenet and fire area you will have everything you need to take n the amazing scenery with full comfort. -Our Mongolian Yurts are a great option for those who want to try the farm and desert life, with a truly immersive experience. With AC, comfy beds and a fully equipped common kitchen, our yurts provide a unique opportunity enjoy the desert in comfort.

Neighborhood info

We are located in the heart of the Negev desert, at an altitude of 870 Meters (2850 Ft) above sea level, so it;s always nice and cool around here. The farm is sitting right next to the cliff overlooking the magnificent world-known Ramon Creator - a unique geological phenomenon. The unique nature around the farm offers various hiking routes, biking and other desert adventures. Our farm's unique eco-system supports multiple wild animals that live around the farm.
