The desert located in Chile is the Atacama Desert. Known for being one of the driest places on Earth, it features unique geological formations and a rich diversity of wildlife, adapted to extreme arid conditions. Its landscape includes salt flats, volcanoes, and the Andes mountains nearby, making it a significant geographical and tourist attraction. The Atacama also plays a crucial role in scientific research, particularly in astronomy, due to its clear skies and minimal light pollution.
