Looks like a crested trichocereus . Not sure if T. Pachanoi or not. You have to takena photo of the normal stem in the back and the flower.
There are more cacti in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

Also one of the flower tube if possible. If it is naked with no hairs or bristles it is a Cereus, if hairy or bristly probably a Trichocereus (trichos = hair or bristles + Cereus). Cristates are often difficult to identify unless you get a stem reverting since the cristate growth can look unlike the species itself.
