O mare de flori a acoperit cel mai arid deșert din lume după ploile aduse de El Niño. Imagini spectaculoase din Atacama

The Atacama Desert in Chile has transformed into a vibrant floral landscape due to heavy rains from the El Niño phenomenon. Millions of dormant seeds have sprouted, resulting in over 200 plant species blooming across approximately 17,000 square kilometers. This event, known as "Desierto Florido," is considered the most extensive since 1997. Record rainfall has activated the desert's biological material, leading to a spectacular visual display. Tourists are flocking to the region, with an expected 300,000 overnight stays by November, making it a major tourist attraction this season.
