It is not accurate to claim that it did not rain in Calama, Chile for 400 years. Calama is located in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on Earth, but it does experience sporadic rainfall. While the region may have long periods without significant precipitation, it is not correct to state that it did not rain at all for four centuries.

Is it true that it didn't rain in calama chile for 400 years?

Yes, and no. Looking at the records, you will find that the average yearly precipitation is 35mm in that region. This, however is an estimate because in the 400 years that records have been kept there has not been a single instance of measurable precipitation. The figure of 35mm comes from trace amounts of moisture in the air during 'morning dew' periods.
