Experiencias únicas en Sierra Nevada

We strive to integrate the natural wisdom of the llama with the cultural heritage of this intelligent creature by relating knowledge of the Andean cosmology and the Andean spiritual path. Here you will have the opportunity to meet, greet, interact with and communicate with our specially trained llama friends. This Experience is about llamas for wellness and educational proposes. We do believe in llamas as healers and messengers of Mother Nature (Pachamama). We want you to experience their medicine and help us on their training too. Safety is always top priority for guests and the llamas, so our program will be different on a winter day after a rainy week than it will be on a hot August afternoon. Please wear comfortable shoes and country clothing. We will put you into situations where you will be able to understand who these llamas are, personally discovering the different personalities that make up our herd. Other things to note We will introduce you to our "Speechless Brothers". Be prepared to learn all about llamas. They are smart, clean and personable. Let them know you are as well.

We'll start by foraging through the farm to make a diverse "goat salad." We'll walk through the garden, stop to admire the beehives, and then feed and pet our mini horses, adorable Babydoll sheep, and silly goats. Once our animals have had their salads, The Farmhouse Kitchen at The Nest Box (MEHKO permit #PT0501239) will treat you to a light seasonal farm picnic. Following your fresh farm treats, we'll step in with the chickens and ducks. We'll feed them organic hen scratch and farm greens, if available. We'll watch them happily scratch around and quack and coo, and you can hold and pet them if you’d like too. While they’re scratching around, we’ll step into the coops to check for eggs, then we'll visit with our rambunctious pigs and Harper, our sweet Jersey cow. We'll finish our experience with a calm and relaxing visit with our bunnies and guinea pigs. We'll feed and pet these sweet and soft fur balls. All along the experience, you will learn fun facts about our diverse plant and animal family, and you’ll leave with a seasonal farm gift. Other things to note: Wear comfortable closed-toed walking shoes and clothes you don't mind possibly getting a bit dirty. Boots and long pants are ideal. *Great for teams and team-building too!

Thanks for looking at my listing! We will meet at my gem and mineral shop Yosemite Crystals in downtown Mariposa, and then caravan (drive your own car about 4.5 miles to my private patented gold rush mine/private property. The creek is located very close to the entrance of the property. No hiking Some years our spring-fed creek runs year round. Other years when the creek dries up (as do most california creeks which are seasonal) we bring the river to you by running the same sluice boxes with pumps in water troughs. Crystals are in the creek and you KEEP WHAT YOU FIND GOLD/CRYSTALS!!!! We even give u a gold vial to keep your gold in! Part of the reason i have almost 200 five star reviews is because my goal is 100 transparency and satisfaction! We supply all the tools and pans and you get to keep all the gold you find! My goal is to teach you how to prospect/pan/hrlp you find amazing crystals in the creek.. so you can go off and be able to find gold anywhere.

I love meeting new people and look forward to meeting your group for the 2 HOUR TOUR! Feel free to contact me with questions before booking! Daniel

We can go sailing on my 25 foot sailboat to my favorite spots! This experience is for 3 hours. Our typical sail is Valhalla (South Lake Tahoe) to Emerald Bay, and back. We can sail to the emerald bay where you can view the vikingsholm and the teahouse on top of fannette island from the sailboat. Very comfortable! This is a private sailing experience for you, meaning you will have the entire boat to your party. Have as much fun as you want! Sailing etiquette highly supports tipping the skipper! Come onboard for an awesome experience! Other things to note: Weather and wind permitting: if there are thunder storms or strong winds, we can not sail. (Which you will be 100% refunded) Safety First! Your experience includes unlimited beverages, alcoholic and nonalcoholic! If you’d like to tell me your preferences after booking, I’ll make sure there’s plenty on ice. (Please please please do not wait until the last minute or the day before the experience to tell me your drink preferences!) A charcuterie board is available for an additional $20. You are also more than welcome to bring anything you would like to eat or a drink on board. Please no stepping on the cushions! Please No Spray sunscreen onboard. (Spray sunscreen coats the fiberglass decks and cushions, making it very slippery and dangerous) Pets are not allowed onboard due to safety reasons.

Join us as we explore ancient Native American trails, camps, and villages, and search for new, previously undiscovered sites. We will be hiking a mostly-level 3-5 mile trip, navigating the low altitude grasslands of the Sierra Nevada foothills near Cool, California. The trip leader will discuss the history and natural world of this area, sharing his knowledge of the local Native Americans, as well as the flora, fauna, and geology of the area. Sunday trips, during the summer, will be hosted at a higher elevation petroglyph site, a unique place not known to the general public. This is a rare opportunity to view ancient rock art, with an (amateur) archaeologist present. And it's above the summer heat! Our trip will also explore new areas, if desired, in search for previously unknown, undocumented cultural resources. Any new sites will be passed along to the North Central Information Center for historical preservation. This is your chance to find history! After the hike, participants will receive a detailed map and photos, if desired, from the trip. This is a kid-friendly, dog-friendly walk, so plan on taking your time! Other things to note: This is a hike in the mountains, so plan accordingly. We WILL be hiking off the trail, so be sure you're comfortable doing so. To stay on the trail is to limit yourself.

Take a break from the rigors of Yosemite hiking and take a relaxing stroll through our orchard. Learn about what makes our 19 varieties of apples so special (and why you probably don't want to eat them), a brief history of American cider, some slightly embellished tales about the local wildlife, and some jokes that will either make you laugh or groan, depending on the weather. Then kick back at our tasting room to enjoy some bar games, beautiful views and a meet and greet with some really nice dogs and some really goaty goats. Oh, and cider of course. You'll get to drink cider. One sip, and you'll understand why call it "Campfire Champagne."

Come spend time with highland cows! Guests will be able to see and interact with highland cows and calves on our farm located in Linden, Ca. Each experience will last approximately an hour and will include a farm tour, education about the breed and interaction with the animals such as brushing/feeding the highlands.

Guests will be given ample time to pet, feed and interact with our friendly animals in a beautiful, scenic setting at the foot of Blossom Peak.

This living farm offers changes every day. You might see baby goats and hold them. The goats and horse love corn chips and carrots. Madji our big cuddly horse will offer kisses and affection. We frequently have baby rabbits to hold and cuddle. Rabbits free range inside Mr. Mc Gregor's garden where we have raised bed vegetables. We will tour each animal enclosure to pet, offer treats and engage with the various friends that live here. You are welcome to photo, pet or play with them, as they wish, provided safety protocols are respected. Chickens will come and eat from your hand and we will visit the hen house and discuss the biology of egg production. If a mother hen has chicks we can visit and hold the babies. There is a lot to see and do and guests are permitted to linger with their favorite species. The farm is set among the Sierra Nevada foothills with rolling hills in the high chaparral terrain. Our views are spectacular and peace and harmony reign as the animals co-mingle and browse the property. Our large German shepherds ensure that predators are kept at bay as they patrol the property keeping everyone safe. Hats and appropriate footwear are encouraged. Custom tour times can be requested and we will do our best to accommodate. Sadly we no longer have pigs on our property and there are lots of other activities to do.

PLEASE READ: ***Spring is coming, and that means galaxies. Schedule up to date through April. NOTE THAT IF A DATE IS UNAVAILABLE, IT IS EITHER BECAUSE I AM OUT OF TOWN OR BECAUSE THERE IS A GIANT SPOTLIGHT IN THE SKY THAT IS NEAR ENOUGH TO FULL THAT A VIEWING IS IMPOSSIBLE.*** Join an amateur astronomer with almost 40 years of experience observing the night sky from Murphys, and take advantage of dark skies unlike anything in the city as we view beautiful astronomical objects through one of the largest telescopes available on the non-professional market (please note the photos of our scope were taken in the Bay Area-the skies in Murphys are MUCH darker!). Depending on the time of year, you will view planets, double stars and star clusters, nebulae and other galaxies through our 14-inch Celestron Edge-HD telescope. Telescopes invoke wonder like you've never experienced! Imagine viewing a galaxy of half a trillion stars as it looked before humans walked upright, or a star that ripped itself apart in a supernova a millennium ago. You decide how much time you spend with each object-small groups mean you never have to wait to look into the eyepiece (I limit bookings to 4 people each viewing; I am happy to accept SINGLE groups larger than 4 - just message me in advance).

You'll meet me at my house where we will hop on one of my bikes for a 1.75-mile ride to the beach on the Pope Baldwin Bike Path. It is one of Lake Tahoe's most beautiful paved bike trails with views of Mt. Tallac and Freel Peak (Lake Tahoe's tallest mountain). Once we arrive at the beach, you will enjoy a gourmet tasting menu with expansive views of the entire Lake Tahoe basin! The seasonally driven tasting menu includes multiple courses all prepared tableside at the beach. Most dietary restrictions can be accommodated. Once your bellies are full we will hop back on our bikes and cruise back to my house. I am also happy to do private tasting menus for larger parties at your house or Airbnb. During the winter and colder months, I only offer private tasting menus at homes due to the weather (September-June). Please message me to inquire about availability.

Experience a stunning photoshoot & guided hike during your vacation at Lake Tahoe. I love capturing candid moments and will provide my expertise in posing and making the photography experience natural. All while soaking in the beauty of the hidden and secret spots of Lake Tahoe. We will meet at the Tallac Historic Site parking lot and then we will walk through the woods into Kiva Beach. It is a good idea to bring water (otherwise I always bring extra). I will provide the edited photos to be accessed online within a week of the experience date. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know!

PRIVATE CACAO CEREMONY A unique experience for couples or small groups. . Learn about the Mayan Calendar . Expand your awareness . Connect with the Sacred . Rejuvenate your physical body . Transform your emotional body . Live a unique experience Immersed in the forest at The Rejuvenation Sanctuary (close to Grass Valley downtown) or at your Airbnb. Under careful guidance ceremony participants are invited to reconnect to the natural world, to bring curiosity to their experiences of life and to ignite new paths for bliss. Cacao became a legend in the Mayan and Olmec world 3500 years ago. The seeds used by ancient ceremonialists and farmers have since passed down to modern times. Cacao is rich in antioxidants, iron, magnesium, manganese, zinc, copper, calcium, phosphorus, beta carotene, and amino acids. In the ancient Mayan culture, it has been an integral part of the diet, complementary to corn. By stimulating the heart center, cacao further aids in creating a sense of openness for expansion and Love. Mood elevating compounds anandamide and tryptophan allow you to access deeper states of euphoria and relaxation. Julie facilitates ceremonies open to all, and will craft the experience depending on your intentions.

Upon arrival, we will spend about 10 minutes going over farm and animal safety. Then we will walk over to meet the alpacas and llamas. The animals are generally kept in 3 separated areas. Each guest will be given a baggie of mineral pellets to hand feed the alpacas, if interested in doing that. I will go over the history of alpacas and llama, where they came from, what they are used for and how their fleece is collected each year and processed into end products. While you feed the pellets, we will have the ability to be up close and personal with the alpacas and llamas. Question and Answer time will be thru out the visit. We will go to each pen area, and learn about the different groups, females, males, and babies. Towards the end of the tour, we will go to the store and look at products that have been made from the alpaca fleece, and guests will have an opportunity to purchase items. PLEASE TEXT if interested in the walk, as this listing does not designate between a general visit and a walk.... Other things to note Alpacas are very skittish by nature, so please be prepared to let them approach you. Loud quick movements will scare them and reduce your ability to have the experience of being near them
