Chile is a country of contrasts and wonder. Some of its northern areas have not seen any rainfall in hundreds of years; yet in the Atacama area, occasional and brief showers make the desert blossom. The central zone is mild and warm. Rainfall increases southbound, adding sparkle to the millenary lush forests. The far south is chilly, with strong winds. The Mallan island of Guarello receives as much as 9.000 millimeters (354,3307 inches) of rainfall a year, more than Bergen, Norway—one of Europe’s rainiest cities. Such diversity is completed with Easter Island and the Juan Fernandez archipelago, with clearly defined warm and subtropical climates.
