The flowering Atacama Desert is known for being one of the most surprising natural phenomena in the world, where a seemingly arid and dry desert transforms into a colorful landscape full of life after the winter rains. In this unique ecosystem, you can find several species of endemic flora that have developed special adaptations to survive in extreme conditions.

Among the most notable endemic species are:

Lion's claw (Leontochir ovallei): This plant features bright yellow flowers and is found only in the coastal area of ??the Atacama Desert.

Alstromeria (Alstroemeria magnifica): This plant, known as "field lily", produces brightly colored flowers and is endemic to the Coquimbo and Atacama region.

Copao cactus (Eulychnia iquiquensis): A cactus endemic to the Tarapac&&a&& and Antofagasta region, which is characterized by its large white flowers.
