The Chala or coastal desert of Peru is one of the eight natural regions in Peru. It is formed by all the western lands that arise from sea level up to the height of 500 meters. The coastal desert of Peru is largely devoid of vegetation but a unique fog and mist-fed ecosystem called Lomas is scattered among hills near the Pacific coast at elevations up to 1,000 metres (3,300 ft). It is part of the Pacific desert or South American Coastal Deserts Bioregion, according to One Earth.
