Peru has a large desert, known as the Peruvian Desert or Sechura Desert, bordering the ocean primarily due to the cold Humboldt Current that flows along its coast. This current cools the air and reduces moisture, resulting in low precipitation. Additionally, the Andes Mountains trap moist air, preventing it from reaching the coastal areas. Together, these factors create arid conditions conducive to desert formation.
