Among alpacas
Lisa Vella-Gatt, 46, came to Portugal from England in 2009 to set up Monte Frio Alpacas, a sustainable project that breeds alpacas for their wool. Alpaca wool has been showcased in luxury fashion house collections on the catwalks of Milan and Paris.
Vella-Gatt’s alpacas produce wool and are also trained to trek with tourists through the rural landscapes of central Portugal.
