The climate to the east of the Andes, particularly in the Amazon Basin, is typically hot and humid, characterized by tropical rainforests and significant rainfall year-round. In contrast, the climate to the west of the Andes, especially along the coast of Chile and Peru, is more arid, with coastal deserts and a Mediterranean climate influenced by the cold Humboldt Current. This stark contrast is primarily due to the rain shadow effect created by the Andes, which blocks moisture-laden winds from reaching the western side.
