Desierto Tatacoa, Colombia
Wiki - The Tatacoa Desert is the second largest arid zone in Colombia after the Guajira Peninsula. It occupies 330 square kilometers of land. This semiarid region is located north of Huila Department, 38 km from the city of Neiva. It is a rich deposit of fossils and a great tourist destination.
The Tatacoa, or the Valley of Sorrows, as it was called in 1538 by the conquistador Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada, is not just a desert, but a tropical dry forest. The name Tatacoa, also given by the Spanish, refers to rattlesnakes.
