Guillermo Rivera is a plant explorer and tour operator based in Florida, but with enormous
experience traveling to locales very much of interest to CCSS members throughout Latin
America and South Africa. The talk will cover a voyage through the whole country of Peru:
from the dry and deciduous forest in the North around the cities of Chiclayo and Jaen, to the
lower slopes of the Andes into the Amazon region. We will explore the habitats around
Huaraz, a beautiful town nestled in the valley
between the Cordillera Blanca and
Cordillera Negra. In the end we will cross
the Andes once again heading towards the
Sacred Valley of the Incas to finish our
voyage in Machu Picchu. We will see
amazing Matucanas in flower, high elevation
Oroyas, spectacular Neoraimondias
and the most incredible bromeliad Puya
raimondii, with its inflorescence of over 20
feet. Woody Minnich has recommended
Guillermo as one of the finest photographer/
travelers he knows: this is a landmark
meeting not to be missed!
