These churches are all made of wood, and the joints are made of wooden wedges instead of nails, which is also their uniqueness.
There are hundreds of churches on the island, some short and frugal, some tall and exquisite, and less than 80 of them have been repaired to varying degrees.

Atacama
Atacama, which is equivalent to the area of two Italy, is the closest natural environment to Mars on earth. Even bacteria can't survive in this barren and strongly acidic soil.
Part of the reason for all this is the lack of water. This is the driest place on earth, and the rainfall every ten years can only be measured in millimeters, but in some parts of the desert, there is no sign of precipitation for hundreds of years.
From Santiago, the capital of Chile, it takes about 8 hours to reach Antofagasta, the most densely populated city in the Atacama Desert.
According to the local meteorological records, there are only 20 cloudy days in this city all the year round, and the rest are Wan Li with clear skies, with an average annual precipitation of 3 mm. Most of the surrounding areas have not rained for 40 to 100 years, so the Atacama Desert is called the "drought pole" in the world.
Atacama Desert is 160 km wide and 1000 km long, bordering on the Pacific Ocean. It is said that there will be no drought, but the Andes mountains next to the northern desert are like a barrier, blocking the humid air of the Amazon River from going south.
In addition, the near sea breeze parallel to the coast prevails here, and it is also the place where the Peruvian cold current flows. Coastal air is in contact with the cold current surface, and the lower layer is cooled. Water vapor can only become fog, and it is difficult to rise to high altitude and condense into clouds, causing rainfall.
It is said that there is a place called "absolute desert" by scientists. Since the Spanish established the Meteorological Observatory in 1870, there has been no record of rain.
Because it hardly rains, the houses in Atacama have no eaves to keep out the rain, and most of the roofs are built flat, regardless of the slope of drainage. Some people also build a circle of low walls on the roof to pile up household sundries.
Although the streets in the city crisscross, there is no drainage channel on the road. Most people don't know what an umbrella and raincoat is, and there are no rainproof goods to sell in shops of all sizes. Due to the lack of rain-proof facilities, even a little rain will cause riots in the whole city, making people in a hurry.
