Zero-Waste Holidays at Riva Bella: Feed the Llamas with Your Vegetable Peelings

Want a simple, joyful way to reduce waste on holiday and delight the whole family? Zero-Waste Holidays at Riva Bella make it easy: you can feed the resort’s friendly llamas with approved vegetable peelings, turning everyday kitchen scraps into an interactive eco‑tourism ritual.

Why feeding llamas with vegetable peelings matters

Riva Bella brings sustainability to life by inviting guests to observe and feed the llamas—as well as donkeys and pigs—using suitable vegetable peelings provided or approved by resort staff. It’s a small daily habit with big meaning: scraps become a resource, not rubbish.

The experience unfolds in a natural setting. A ten‑hectare llama park winds through the estate, where guests can take nature walks and watch these gentle animals that help maintain the grounds and even provide wool used to insulate certain bungalows. The result is a living example of circular thinking that you can see, touch, and share with your children.

How to feed the llamas responsibly (step by step)

Follow these simple steps to keep animals healthy and the experience safe and rewarding for everyone:

1. Collect your kitchen scraps after meals.
2. Speak with resort staff to obtain suitable peelings or have your own scraps approved.
3. Head to the llama park for a relaxed, respectful encounter during your nature walk.
4. Feed the animals calmly, following staff guidance at all times.
5. Keep the area tidy—carry any containers back with you and leave no trace.

What peelings are suitable?

Only vegetable peelings that are provided or explicitly approved by Riva Bella staff. When in doubt, ask—staff will confirm what’s appropriate for llamas, donkeys, and pigs.

Good practice for guests

• Use a clean container to store scraps between meals.
• Keep scraps cool and fresh until feeding time.
• Never offer anything unapproved or processed; when unsure, don’t feed it.
• Be gentle and give animals space—observe patiently and enjoy the moment.

A family‑friendly zero‑waste ritual

Riva Bella is a family camping village with services and activities designed for all ages, making the llama‑feeding moment an easy, shared learning experience. Younger guests can connect with nature while practicing everyday eco‑gestures. Families can also explore the estate’s walking trails and the nearby beach for a full day of simple, low‑impact fun.

Tip: Ask the team about children’s activities and check the resort’s Cool’n Camp application for programmes and practical information during your stay.

Beyond peelings: other easy zero‑waste habits at Riva Bella

• Pick fresh herbs on site. Visit the flavour garden to harvest parsley, basil, mint, thyme, and oregano—perfect for cooking without packaging waste.
• Use the eco‑friendly dishwashers. Complimentary, efficient dishwashers in the sanitary facilities complete a cycle in about five minutes, helping you save time and resources.
• Charge electric vehicles on site. Dedicated fast‑charging points support low‑impact mobility during your holiday.
