the Fog Oases ecosystem
july to october only
If you’re a nature lover, an active explorer, or a photographer chasing unique shots, this destination deserves a spot on your bucket list. Get ready to capture birds, insects, flowers, and breathtaking landscapes!
Fog oases are a rare wonder along the Peruvian coast and the Atacama Desert — a unique ecosystem shaped by the interplay of wind, humidity, and sea temperatures during winter, typically from mid-July to mid-October.
Sadly, Lima is losing more of these lands every year due to the lack of protective legal measures. That’s why this oasis, one of the closest survivors to the city, feels so special — and the best part is, it’s easy to reach.
