It resembles t. bridgesii but it's not because of the look of the base of the spines.
This could be of some help: http://www.columnar-cacti.org/trichocereus/index.html

Yeah, I think the cactus in the 8th photo of your series is a dead ringer for this cactus, which I know to be a T. peruvianus...

yah the spines in the last pick are way too thick to be peruvian torch (im assuming these are all the same cacti) and the wooly hair is definitely not standard in trichs

Not a peruvian in my opinion and I all so think your peruvian photo is a T. cuzcoensis

Pilosocereus arrabidae makes sense considering what country the op is in

It may be, but the grower identifies it as a peruvianus...

This has been the problem over many years with the ID of peruvians. There has been large amounts of seeds and plants sold as peruvianus when they were actually T.cuzcoensis. It just adds to the fun of IDing Trichocereus.
