The Peruvian Desert, also known as the Sechura Desert, is located along the northwestern coast of Peru. It is characterized by its arid climate, with very little rainfall throughout the year. The desert features vast stretches of sand dunes, rocky terrain, and unique geological formations, making it a distinct landscape in the region. Despite its harsh conditions, the Peruvian Desert is home to various plant and animal species adapted to survive in dry environments. The desert's proximity to the Pacific Ocean influences its weather patterns, creating a coastal desert ecosystem that supports life in surprising ways.
