The Flowering Atacama Desert

If you combine the driest desert in the world and the seeds that have been landing for months and you allow just an hour of rainfall you will watch one of the most amazing spectacles of how life found her way. The desert ecosystem is known as arid and with a great lack of rain, but we know that every three to eight years the surface of the waters of the tropical Eastern Pacific Ocean will warm up, causing rainfalls in the most arid places, like our Atacama desert. Between the months of September and November, the miracle waters created a sea of flowers, where more than 200 species of an endemic character grows freely. This great quantity of flower allows the presence of birds, insects, little lizards all of them creating a new ecosystem. You can be one of the few that will be able to watch this marvelous display of nature and life, colours and textures, aromas and beauty all in the north of Chile, a land that will surprised you in every step you take. Come and live the experience!
