The flowering desert is a phenomenon that occurs in the Atacama Desert ( Chile ), the driest desert on Earth, and consists of the appearance of a great diversity of flowers in years when rainfall is unusually high and exceeds the normal range for the desert. It is similar to the coastal hills phenomenon, which occurs along the desert coast of Chile and Peru.

04:37So, let's go.
04:54Las patitas de guanaco, todas estas, abren. Ahora están cerraditas porque todavía no sale tanto el sol.
05:02Después cuando vengamos bajando deberían estar abriendo. Miren cómo empiezan a abrir ahí las patitas de guanaco.
05:13Entonces en un rato todo este manto floral debería ser de color violeta.
05:24Aquí tenemos el amancay, cornilla del fraile, pata de guanaco.
05:37Una biodiversidad increíble que nos proporciona el desierto florido.
05:46Yo tomando fotos.

06:17Seguimos avanzando aquí por el sendero Alberto Villegas, pero por el sector de Corrales, que es una parte más cortita
06:26del sendero Alberto Villegas.
06:31Podemos ver los chayes, los chayes, los chayes al final ahí del sendero.
06:42Y aquí está lleno de celestinas por este sector. Bien bonito.
06:59Yo andaba con tu traje de pelea treta.
07:02Yo andaba con la tricota.
07:05¿Vale, este año no va a participar en un triazo?

07:48No, no, no, no, no metemos nunca al este, pero por ejemplo si te quedé tomando...
07:56¿Qué es ahí?
07:57Ya.
08:54The desierto florido
08:55Es un fenómeno que ocurre una vez a cada 5 o 6 años
09:00Aquí en el desierto de Atacama
09:03Es un fenómeno único en el mundo
09:06Ya que aquí hay más de 200 especies totalmente endémicas
09:11Muy difíciles de ver
09:14Su tiempo de floración es muy pequeño
09:16Con suerte un mes
09:18Y una vez que florecen
09:20Mueren y quedan en letargo las semillas
09:22Hasta la próxima lluvia
09:25Necesitan al menos 15 milímetros de agua
09:27Para poder florecer
09:28Y este es un fenómeno realmente único en el mundo
09:32Las flores todas tienen
09:35La capacidad de florecer en conjunto
09:37Así que tenemos mantos florales
09:39Cada uno con distintos colores
09:41Podemos aquí estar observando
09:45Un manto floral
09:46De color blanco
09:48De color blanco
10:02Aquí llegamos a uno de los primeros mantos florales
10:08Entre huasco y freirina
10:10Es un manto floral
10:15De color blanco
10:25Se comienza ya
10:27A visualizar lo que es el jardín
10:31Natural
10:32Del desierto florido
10:34L'algo
10:42¡Oh!
10:44Y
10:52L'algo

11:16I love it, but I love it.
11:19That's what I put on the wall.
11:23Is that it?
11:24Yes.
11:36Here we have one of the first mantos florals.
11:42Between Huasco and Freirina.
11:47This is a floral manto of color white.
11:55Here we go.
11:59We start to visualize what is the natural garden of the florida desert.
12:08That's why I will be behind the tree.
12:09Different kind of flowers are shaped as a tree, but we all have the flowers.
12:09I am depending on the tree.
12:09There is a little bit of a tree.
12:09Uh...
12:11It's not a tree.
12:12Yeah, that's a tree.
12:12This tree is the tree, but it's not a tree.
12:15There's a tree.
