Atacama Desert Ghost Town

 Peru is a country of extremes, the extremes of culture, language, history, architecture, flora, fauna and remarkably, most of the landscapes. More than half the country is the Amazon jungle, has the powerful backbone of the Andes and finally, the thin coastal strip of desert running all over the country. From the northern border in the Piura region, the desert stretches from the coast between 20 to 100 miles from the Andes. The northern part is known as the Desert Sechura and runs only in the city of Piura to Tumbes - Piura, equatorial dry forests. The desert covers a total area of 188,735 km square. The Peruvians call only this portion of the northwest coast Sechura desert, while other sources, such as the World Wildlife Fund, consider Sechura desert the land mass of the coastal desert of northwestern part of Peru connect to the Atacama desert in northern Chile. The coastal area of southern Peru Nazca below is considered to be part of the Atacama Desert in the National Geographic Society, so definitions vary, but the sand! Sechura the desert in the north is relatively moist and vegetation as compared to the Atacama Desert has the reputation (NASA) to be the driest place on earth. In 1998, the climatic phenomenon known as El Niño, which originate along this coast and affects weather patterns around the world regularly, unusually heavy rains caused by the rivers bordering the Sahara to overflow and empty into the desert Sechura , which form the second largest body of water in Peru after Titicaca. This freshwater lake was 90 miles long and 20 miles wide and 10 feet deep, with occasional domes of sand and clay that appear on the surface. Shrubs and bushes are to cover much of the desert as a result. Due to the environmental effects of the nearby Pacific Ocean, the desert Sechura has a range of very low temperatures. However, it is one of the most arid of the Earth due to the cold coastal waters and subsidence of the subtropical. During the summer months from December to March, temperatures range between 25 ° ° C to 38 C, with an average of more than 24 ° C. During the winter months, the weather is cloudy and cool with temperatures ranging from 16 ° C overnight and 24 C ° during the day. Human settlements have been able to develop in the desert of Sechura by the many rivers that cross it short of glaciers and low rainfall in the Andes. Early Moche urban culture was eating guinea pigs, fish, peanuts, and pumpkin and adobe built large cities, most of which still survives, in part, Chan Chan, near Trujillo. About 800 to 1300 AD, the SICA happened to the Moche and were known for their lost wax casting of gold, which were greatly appreciated by the Spanish conquerors. More than 1,500 miles of desert continues south to the desert reaches Sechura Atacama desert, which belongs to Chile and Peru. This land is very arid with some rocky brown hills, but it was also home to ancient civilizations, like the impressive Nazca Nazca lines, aqueducts and cities of mud. West of the Andes in southern Peru and Chile, which stretches 600 miles from land in the Pacific coast, is the Atacama Desert. It gets very little rain as it is in the lee of the mountains. Therefore, one of the driest deserts in the world and covers an area of 40,000 square kilometers mainly composed of sand, salt basins (called Salars) and lava flows. The area is dotted with geysers and tourism has been built around 4x4 trips through the desert, with a number of inns and luxury resorts under construction and this "other world" landscape is sure to continue to draw visitors worldwide.
