Andean People Thrived Despite Tough Conditions
It is strange that the Andean people were able to have such a rich culture. The area they lived in did not have stable weather. The coast of Peru and Chile is very dry. The Atacama Desert in Chile is the driest place on Earth. In some places, it never rains at all.
The area can have dangerous rain and floods that last for years. Floods destroy crops and wash away fields. There are also many volcanoes and earthquakes in the area. Still, people were able to settle and survive.
North of the Atacama is Lima, the capital of today's Peru. Further north, there are 30 or more ancient cities. One of these is Sechín Bajo, which is 5,500 years years old.
