The cold waters of the Humboldt Current are responsible for both the coastal deserts and the garúa along the coasts of Peru and Chile from latitudes 5° to 30° South, a north-south distance of 2,800 kilometres (1,700 miles). Between those latitudes, the Humboldt Current hugs the coastline bringing mild temperatures and high humidity to a ...
