Suddenly from a barren, barren place without life, the Atacama desert was suddenly covered with a carpet of beautiful flowers, turning a large desert area into a half-dream and half-real picture. Visitors can hardly believe it because only a month ago, the whole Atacama was bare by barren soil.

After an unusually violent rain fell on the northern lands of Chile, also part of the arid Atacama desert. Immediately after that, the green sprouts burst into life, reaching out of the ground and blooming brilliantly, covered with kite beauty.

The Atacama Desert is located in the north of Chile, this is an area classified by the US Space Agency as one of the driest places on Earth and usually the annual rainfall here is extremely high. low, only about 15.25mm, even in other areas the rainfall only falls about 1mm/year.

Most of the year, throughout the month, the Atacama desert is soaked in a barren yellow-brown color of sandy soil and is as dry as a dead holy place, without the vitality of plants and trees, so many people liken this place to the land of hell.

However, only after a recent heavy rain, which happened to be extremely unusual in part of the Atacama desert, suddenly that arid land turned into a colorful “flower carpet” thanks to wild flowers. race to bloom to catch the rare drops of water here.

Vibrant purple flowers bloom after being bathed in a heavy rain. According to scientists, the unusual flower phenomenon at Atacama is called “desierto florido”. This phenomenon occurs when heavy rainfall seeps into the ground, “awakening” dormant seeds and causing them to germinate, grow lush and bloom.

Normally, as an annual rule, the phenomenon of “desert bloom” only occurs once every 4-7 years around August or September, this is the rainy season of Northern Chile.
