Trichocereus pachanoi, also known as the San Pedro cactus, is a species of cactus native to the Andean mountains of South America, particularly in Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia. It is a columnar cactus that can grow up to 6 meters (20 feet) tall and 15-20 cm (6-8 inches) in diameter.

The stem of the Trichocereus pachanoi cactus is light to dark green and has 6 to 8 ribs with areoles along the ridges that produce clusters of spines. The cactus produces big white and yellow fragrant flowers, which can be up to 22 cm (8.6 inches) long and 20 cm (7 inches) wide. The fruit of the cactus is a small, greenish-brown berry that contains numerous small black seeds.

This ancient species has been used for centuries by indigenous peoples in traditional medicine and religious practices. It has a cultural background of thousands of years among the Andean cultures.

The San Pedro cactus is easy to grow and can be propagated by cuttings. It prefers well-drained soil and plenty of sunlight. The cactus can be grown both indoors and outdoors in warm climates.
