Atacama desert.
The Atacama desert of Chile and Peru is a virtually rainless plateau made up of salt basins (salares), sand, and lava flows, extending from the Andes mountains to the Pacific Ocean.
The Atacama Desert is the driest desert on Earth (except perhaps for the McMurdo Dry Valleys in Antarctica) and is virtually sterile because it is blocked from moisture on both sides by the Andes mountains and by coastal mountains.

â
Driest place
For the period between 1964
and 2001, the average annual
rainfall for the meteorological
station in Quillagua, in the
Atacama Desert, Chile, was
just 0.5 mm (0.02 in). This
discovery was made during
the making of the documentary
series Going to Extremes,
by Keo Films in 2001.

Hmmm.... that would be South America next to Argentina. Were you looking for latitude and longitude, perhaps?
'nuff said?
