Rising Sun

I’m a bit of celebrity around the farm and on social media. My fleece is super soft and luxurious, but even more than that, I’m apparently a one-of-a-kind, perfect specimen of an alpaca! I’m also as lovable as I am handsome, so pop into Shamarra Alpacas for a tour and a pat.

A glamorous damsel through and through, I’m a big fan of being groomed well ahead of a photo op (your next selfie on a farm tour). My big eyes look even better when my fleece is on fleek. And I’ve been known to wear the odd denim jacket or hat, depending on the season.

But don’t be intimidated by my flair for fashion; I’m always up for a solid cuddle like my other friends.

I absolutely adore wee human kiddos and alpaca babies alike! Arguably the friendliest of all the furry faces here at Shamarra, I like to get visits and snuggles year-round.

  • “
    Well organized, educational, but also so much fun! The tour started with information about the alpacas, but quickly moved into getting to pet, feed, and observe them. The ratio of group size to staff members was perfect. The staff provided helpful instructions for how to be kind and safe with the alpacas, while also answering every question we had. We could not stop smiling the entire time.

  • “The alpacas are the cutest and live in the most beautiful place. The guides (I and Jess) were so knowledgeable and knew all the alpacas by name and their relationship to the other alpacas.”
