Welcome to Colorado Capra Excursions
Experience the journey of a lifetime with our goat-packing adventures. Our story began in 2017 with our Founder Diego Buitron, after he was hit by a tractor and paralyzed while ironically building goat fencing. After months of hospitalization and hundreds of hours of physical therapy, he was able to take his first steps again on the wet rich soil of the Scottish West Highland way. Jump 2 years later and 5000 miles to the West coast of the united states where he is now competing for the FKT or Fastest known time unsupported on the Pacific Crest Trail. This is where he is exposed to a group of pack llamas that are stuck on a section of the Sierra Nevada mountains, and a plan is forming. The plan comes to fruition in 2022 when he moves to the Canton of Vaud in Switzerland, and begins to come up with a business plan to allow all people access to the outdoors that saved his life. His goal continues today and after more than 10,000 miles of recorded time on trails around the world, it is time to share that knowledge and love for the our still wild places.
