My brother is in South America for a few monthes particularly in Peru and Equador and was wanting to know where to go where he could see

Dictyocaryum

Wettinia

and Ceroxylon

Can anyone provide exact locations where they can be seen whether in natural habitat or on cultivation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Check out the article in the last Palm Society magazine, Palms, about Andean towns and their signature palms -- Quito, Cuenca, and other Ecuadorean cities have Parajubaea and Ceroxylon as ornamentals. I hear the province of Loja has a stretch of the Inca Trail with Ceroxylon, Geonoma, and Prestoea. Check with Darold Petty on that.

Pacho on the Spanish forum could give info on Peruvian sites.
