Cacti from Peru

I really appreciate all the advice and information shared on this site. Just wanted to share what I could, which right now amounts to some pictures of cacti from the Andes.

Awesome find man.  :mmmsexy:

I see a mesquite in the background.  I didn't know it grew that far south. Get some logs and make a barbcue. Best smell and taste you can get.  :homerdrool:

There's a type of mesquite called Chilean mesquite which grows down in South America.

Cool photos OP. Are you in Peru now? Where in Peru are these from?

The one before the last is all like "no there's no cactus here, just a bunch of spikes growing awesome flowers".  Any one know what it is?

The pyramidal growth looks cool as hell.....damn another one I want to add to the collection.  I like how it has the two small side branches too.

I am currently in the Ancash region of Peru, which is also where all these cacti are from.

The cacti in the second picture are really interesting to visit because they are growing on a cliff side so you can you view part of the cluster from the road or take a trail down the cliff, right beside the cacti, and view them from below (pictured below)...so depending on where you view the, from anywhere from around 13 - 20 feet I would guess.

Nice. Are those tillandsia growing on it?

Do you live in Peru or are you traveling?

Yes they appear to be tillandsias. Thanks for the name to put with the plant. I had no clue what they were called, but they are everywhere here!

I am just travelling through, don't think I could live down here... although I strongly consider it.

That one got me intrigued as well. My best guess is a Matucana/Borzicactus, but it's sexy as hell (I'm not too good on outh-american cacti). That Rauhocereus is amazing as well. Nice pics, OP. Keep'em coming.

Yeah, that's super awesome. Tillandia are often sold as "air plants" and they put them on decorative pieces of wood and sell them with lame parrots and crap on them. I didn't even know they were native down there in Peru. Awesome pics man. :thumbup:

Tillandsia a.k.a. air plants are so common in south american countries its not uncommon to see an entire telephone line covered in different species. Great little plants to propagate and grow in hanging glass bulbs or wire sculptures!

Congrats on the awesome finds! Its always interesting to see what type of crazy areas these bad boys inhabit in the wild.  :thumbup:
