Try Chile’s Atacama Desert, the driest place on earth.
Now, having lived in Chile for a bit myself, and having visited the desert, I can tell you that the Atacama is very dry. And it is also one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been. The light there is unreal, as if someone lifted a piece of gauze from your eyes that you never knew was there.
Bad place for the ol’ hydration bladder to spring a link, I’d think.
“hyper-arid conditions in the desert have lasted at least 20 million years, perhaps 40 million”
i feel sorry for the poor brand-name gore-tex salesman that has this area.
