Atacama Desert, Chile
Lonely Planet | Theme Guides | Deserts | Atacama Desert, Chile:
"The Atacama desert in Chile is as parched as a parson's Sunday sermon. In fact, it's the driest desert in the world. There are parts of it where rain has never been recorded and the precious little precipitation (1cm/0.3in per year) that does fall comes from fog. Flanked on one side by Pacific coastal ranges and on the other by the snowcapped peaks of the Andes, the desert is a series of salt basins that support virtually no vegetation. In other words, it's dry, it's barren and it's empty. Are you hanging out to get there yet?"
