One such place is Incahuasi Island in Salar de Uyuni salt flats, where giant cordon cacti (Echinopsis atacamensis) thrive, creating a mesmerizing sight. In Mexico, this unique species of cactus can also be spotted alongside other remarkable flora and fauna. A stunning color lithograph showcases the diverse array of animals and plants found in this vibrant country.

Not limited to just one type or location, hybridization between different species has resulted in unique variations like Hildewintera Hybrid -Hildewintera aureispina x echinopsis spec. - which boasts exquisite blooms. Traveling across continents brings us to Tilcara in Jujuy Province, Argentina—home to majestic Cardon Cacti (Echinopsis atacamensis).
