Irrigation Pipe Cactus The cactus is broken, and laying in front of about 5 feet of what used to be the base of the stem. The large flower next to it is still standing.

Irrigation Pipe Cactus Take exit 338 to the access road if you want to get up close. The site is red clay, so I wouldn't suggest driving past the gate if it's wet. After your visit the access takes you back towards Tucumari.
