From a distance it looks a little like our own Australian Xanthorrhoea - on steroids. Perhaps it's a distant relative?

Raymo's Plant Photo:

I don't believe it...
It seems to be a "Puya Raimondii"

It seems that Raymo has his very own Peruvian plant.....
Just what WAS he doing in South America - a modern day Conquistador???

I knew what it was called, but I'm just naturally modest.
Didn't want to seem self important or something.
Incidentally, if it is a relative of Xanthorroea, then by definition it must
be a distant one, its about 12,000 clicks from here.

First one deliberately over sharpened to highlight its defences.
Lovely church in Santiago, Chile.
Unknown type of flower.
