Llama hiking
Llamas have been used by people of the Andes mountains as pack animals for hundreds of years. Recently, it has become popular to use llamas as pack animals while hiking. Llamas with their padded feet (like dogs') easily handle steep and rocky paths and are much more environmentally friendly to the ground than horses' hooves. A llama can carry about 25% of its body weight with no problem. This means an average animal of 300 pounds can carry around 75 pounds of equipment in its packs. In southern California a few avocado farmers have used llamas to carry large loads of the fruit down steeper hills.
