it is known as the driest place on earth
The Tropic of Capricorn passes through two main deserts: the Kalahari Desert in southern Africa and the Atacama Desert in South America. These deserts are known for their unique ecosystems and extreme arid conditions due to their location in the subtropical regions.
The Gibson, Kalahari, Atacama and Namib deserts.
The driest desert on the planet is the Atacama Desert, located in Chile. It is one of the most barren and arid places in the world, receiving very little precipitation due to its geographic location between the Andes Mountains and the Pacific Ocean.

Coastal deserts generally are found on the western edges of continents near the Tropics of Cancer and Capricorn. They are affected by cold ocean currents that parallel the coast. Because local wind systems dominate the trade winds, these deserts are less stable than other deserts. Winter fogs, produced by upwelling cold currents, frequently blanket coastal deserts and block solar radiation. Coastal deserts are relatively complex because they are at the juncture of terrestrial, oceanic, and atmospheric systems. A coastal desert, the Atacama of South America, is the Earth's driest desert. In the Atacama, measurable rainfall--1 millimeter or more of rain--may occur as infrequently as once every 5-20 years.
Chile as well as Argentina share parts of both the Atacama and the Patagonian Deserts.
