Norte Chico (or smaller North) region extends from approximately 32-25° South latitude. from the Pacific Ocean to the border with Argentina (only 70-150 miles away). The southern area is characterized by a dry mediterranean climate, while the northernmost portion extends into the Atacama Deseert, the driest in the world.
