Puya Raimondii When we decided to take a detour from the main roads to visit the Puya Raimondii plants I wondered whether it would be worth the hassle, fortunately I was not disappointed. The plants are related to the pineapple family. They can grow up to 10 metres in height and can live for 100 years. It blossoms over 8000 flowers on its ‘corn’ shaped head but only flowers once in its lifetime, after which it dies. Again, we were the only people to visit these amazing plants and we didn’t see a anyone when we took the hike to get up close to them. We camped at the trail head which was a lovely and peaceful nights sleep. -- source link
