      These are really tough plants! It's kind of wild to drive through these completely barren sandy expanses of the Atacama and suddenly find a plain that probably receives more coastal fog, where thousands of these bromeliads grow. There is an endemic lizard that lives among these, but I unfortunately didn't find it :/ Posted one year ago
