El Nino a adus ploi în Atacama, iar deşertul este acum acoperit de vast covor de flori
Exceptional rains from the El Nino phenomenon have transformed Chile's Atacama Desert into a vast floral display, marking one of the most significant blooming events ever recorded. Approximately 200 plant species, including 'suspiros blancos' and 'patas de guanaco', have flourished due to the unprecedented rainfall, exceeding 180 millimeters in some areas. Tourists are drawn to the stunning landscapes, which may feature rainbows against vibrant sunsets. This blooming event, expected to peak in October over 15,000 hectares, highlights the unique biodiversity of the region. Despite the destructive impacts of El Nino, it has also activated life in this arid environment, contributing to the ecosystem's richness.
