In the northern half of South America, the deserts (Atacama, Sechura) are on the western side of the Andes. In the southern half of the continent, the deserts (Patagonian and Monte) are to the east of the Andes Mountains.
Yes, the Atacama is sandwiched between the Andes Mountains on the east and the Pacific ocean to the west.
The Atacama Desert is bordered by the Pacific Ocean to the west and the Andes Mountains to the east?
The primary difference is the timezone. There is a three hour difference between the two coasts (the East is three hours ahead). Historically, the cities in the East coast grew in size earlier than the West, so there are numerous differences in how they are arranged and how tightly packed they are. The two coasts also have distinctly different climates.
