Coastal desert wilderness where fog-fed lomas ecosystems meet the Pacific

Llanos de Challe National Park

Llanos de Challe National Park is a protected coastal desert area situated in the Atacama Region of northern Chile, along the Pacific coast. The park occupies a unique ecological position as one of the southernmost locations of the lomas ecosystem, a fog and mist-fed habitat that creates remarkable biodiversity in otherwise arid desert conditions. These lomas formations, scattered along the coastal desert from northern Chile to northern Peru, receive moisture primarily from the Camanchaca, a dense coastal fog that descends from the Humboldt Current, sustaining vegetation that would otherwise be impossible in this nearly rainless environment. The park spans dramatic terrain from sea level up to Cerro Negro at 950 meters, encompassing rugged mountains, unspoiled white-sand beaches, and coastal wetlands. This fragile ecosystem supports rare and endemic plant species, including the threatened Leontochir ovallei, known locally as Garra de León, while also providing critical habitat for the largest guanaco population in the Atacama Region.
