Get reacquainted with nature and enjoy a fairy tale day trip to Hongcheon Alpaca World in Gangwon-do Province.
The farm-themed park sits inside a lush, forested area in Hongcheon where visitors can connect with animals and the great outdoors. Hongcheon Alpaca World is home to 100 adorable alpacas and other animals including parrots, deer, and sheep. Get up close to the gentle alpacas but stay alert, because these furry mammals are known to spit!
