Ayacucho botanical garden

---

Finally made it to the Ayacucho botanical garden today after walking past every day on our way to and from the orphanage. It is fair to say it only has cacti, but some are pretty huge and they attract some really big grasshoppers, the type you can kinda see the point in Ray Mears eating.

Anyway, a couple of photos... the one of me in front of the big cacti is just before I slipped and sat on it, not exactly comfortable!

Big painful cactus
Looks nice, doesn´t feel too good

Bonking grasshoppers
Large enough to make eating them seem almost (almost) worthwhile...

Cacti
Nice cacti but not good to sit on. Try succulants instead - much softer......so I'm told.
