Chavín de Huántar: Trichocereus

Chavín de Huántar: Trichocereus 

Chavín de Huántar is an archaeological site in Peru with a long history of Trichocereus & San Pedro cultivation. There are plants that can be found within the ruins of Chavin and those plants probably go back for many thousands of years. The ruins are thought to be from 1200BC and the age of this complex is energically discussed among archaeologists.

Chavin is located in the Ancash area and holds great religious as well as historic significance, which is why the center was in the midst of the Chavin culture. Chavín de Huántar is located near the important Peruvian city Lima and lies at the confluence of two large rivers: The Rio Mosnar and the Huanchecsa river. Chavin has a great botanic variety and is home to a large number of different plants and Trichocereus species.

Trichocereus sp, Chavin, Ancash, Peru 

The type that is usually known from Chavin De Huantar is probably somewhere between Trichocereus cuzcoensis and Trichocereus peruvianus. We saw plants that clearly belonged into the San Pedro & Trichocereus pachanoi group as well as other weird plants…some of which even look like Trichocereus huanucoensis.

This plant has a great history and most people who visit the area can´t go by without taking loads of photos. It´s one of my most favorite plants.

Those plants were posted by Chavin Herbalist. They are trying to preserve the Chavin genetics and posted some amazing photos on Facebook. Check them out!

Various Trichocereus Species from the Sacred Succulents Trips

Various Trichocereus Species from the Sacred Succulents Trips

On this page, I want to show some of the plants that my friends from Sacred Succulents visited during their Field Trips. I had those listed as separate pages, but it made the whole process to look at them a bit complicated. And that´s why I brought some of the species on one page. On this page, you can see some Trichocereus cuzcoensis, Trichocereus bridgesii, Trichocereus peruvianus and others.

 

BK08519.4 Trichocereus cuzcoensis, Pisac

This plant was visited during the 2008 Sacredsucculents Field Trip. It´s a beautiful Cuzcoensis that partially grows creeping. For some types of Trichocereus cuzcoensis and Trichocereus peruvianus, it´s definitely common that they can lean over and grow hanging down rocky slopes and cliffs. This Trichocereus cuzcoensis from Pisac is relatively typical Cuzcoensis that is not unlike the so well known and widely distributed KK242.

Ben from Sacred Succulents gave away a very limited amount of seeds to people who supported the Sacred Succulenst Field Trips with seed shares and this was one of them.

BK08521.12 Trichocereus cuzcoenis, Ollantaytambo

This one is another rather typical cuzcoensis, but that shows slight variation to what we usually know. This is a plant that is unlike the typical KK242, but which shows relationship to plants like the amazing cuzcos from the Bolivian Isla Del Sol. Definitely an amazing plant!
