Donkey Trekking is a new way of exercise and entertainment which, in recent years, has spread throughout Northern Europe, introducing the donkey as a travelling companion on ventures into nature.

Before trekking, participants take part in an introductory program. They get acquainted with the donkeys, groom and prepare them for the walk.
A demonstration of how to communicate and lead a donkey takes place.
Donkeys may carry backpacks with food and water for the picnic, but are not used for ridding.

If there is a big number of participants, then each donkey will be lead by more than one person at a time during the walk.
We walk towards the nearest forest and through its paths under big pine trees. We stop for a picnic in the centre of the forest while our donkeys are grazing next to us, and later we continue through olive groves and vineyards. When we return, we all help in taking off the equipment and giving food and fresh water to the donkeys.

Finally it’s time to relax, play games, draw, tell tales from the past, play the guitar and sing new or old songs about donkeys.

Our programme takes place throughout the year.
Duration 120′ or more if requested
