People stroll amid flowers blooming in the Huasco region on the Atacama desert, some 600 km north of Santiago, on August 26,2017.

In years of very heavy seasonal rains a natural phenomenon known as the Desert in Bloom occurs, making the seeds of some 200 desert plants to germinate suddenly some two months after the precipitations.MARTIN BERNETTI / AFP -- source link
