Lima, the rainless capital of the world, why has it hardly rained for 600 years?

Lima is called the rainless capital of the world, because it has hardly rained here for nearly 600 years. This comes from their local special topography and climate.

This place is located at the eastern edge of the subtropical high belt in the South Pacific, and the influence of the Peruvian cold current has led to the formation of a stable inversion layer in this area. Latitude-wise, this area is a typical tropical desert climate, so it has little precipitation and can only form a stable inversion layer. Water vapor is transported into fog, but it can't rain. It has hardly rained for nearly 600 years, so it is called desert garden.

But such a place is indeed the food capital of Peru, and it can also be said that it is the food capital of North America. Because as long as it is North American food, it can be found in almost all the streets and alleys of Lima, Peru, and there are many, many more. If you are a real foodie, this place is definitely a very good tourist destination, and the economic development is also quite good, because the fireplace is small, but it has rich mineral resources in developed countries, and the development of this tourism industry has also promoted the further development of the economy.

Although it is called the desert garden of the rainless capital of the world, there are quite a few permanent residents here. Basically, the population living all the year round can reach about 8 million, and it is a relatively large city with relatively complete infrastructure. This is a country where you can try to travel. If you don't like rainy weather and like sunny and warm weather, the four seasons are like spring, because its annual temperature is stable at 16 to 24 degrees, so it is a very good choice.
