Quebradas in Chile

A red desert plain abuts a colorful “quebrada” — a rugged, cliffy outcrop — near Llullaillaco National Park in Chile. Meaning “breaks” in Spanish, quebradas are common formations in this region, which is primarily a desert and devoid of vegetation. Despite its lack of rainfall, the area is a habitat for vicuñas, wild ancestors of the alpaca.
