Here is the message of a friend of mine (from USA) who is a naturalist guide in southern Peru.
If anyone is interested please contact him directly.
I hope it is appreciated, otherwise please cancel.

Hello group, July, August and September are the months that hippeastrum put on a big show in Southern Peru.
I am an eco tour guide in Peru and offer custom tours to see the biodiversity that Perú has to offer.
I mainly specialize in tours to see poison frogs and other reptiles and amphibians as well as orchids and other native plants.
However, I have never done tours to see Hippeastrum in their natural habitat. Is this something that would interest people here?
A list of the species that can be seen are
H. bukasovii
H. menesesii
H. puniceum
H. haywardii
H. macbridei
H. variegatum
H. machupijchense
H. ferreyrae
I also have a lead on what could be pardinum, which is known from southern Peru.
I can also include in the trip a visit to machu picchu and other ruins, the lares hot springs, a visit to Koshnipata cloud forest which is the buffer zone of Manu National Park and much more.
