Puya Raimondi – Huinchus
Described as the most strange living form in the area, this rare bromeliad grows on very few places in Peru and Bolivia. It may lives up to 100 years, and once it blooms, the plant dies. This spot offers in addition, a 145 km panoramic view of the glaciers, valleys and peaks of the Cordillera Blanca. It takes 2 hours to reach the 45 km and climb 2000 m, then 2 hours to explore and 2 hours for return to Caraz.
