Experience Donegal
It might be time to add walking alpacas to your bucket list! (and then cross it off in The Wild Alpaca Way in Donegal) – no need to go to Peru to see these furry creatures! The Wild Alpaca Way is on Donegal’s Inishowen peninsula – an incredibly picturesque part of Donegal. Enjoy trekking with a herd of Alpacas around Ireland’s most northerly point. Whilst in Donegal, you can’t miss watching the sunrise from the summit of Errigal, seeing the Donegal landscape slowly being revealed in the early morning. It’s definitely worth the hike! If you fancy seeing even more of Donegal’s stunning scenery, you can cycle one of the short routes that lace their way through the tranquil green-drenched countryside. Or you can opt for the longer ones, such as the Donegal Cycle Route starting in Donegal Town or The North West Cycle Trail.
