On we roll southward through Peru's coastal desert. Fact is, the entire coast of Peru, all of its 1,500 miles is a desert. This continues for about another 1,000 miles into Chile.
Straddling the border between the two countries is the Atacama Desert, reportedly the driest on earth, even though severe flash flooding occurred during the last two years.
This post covers our travels from December 15 to 20 from Nazca to Arequipa in Peru, which is located at the northern edge of the Atacama Desert.
