The Desert of Atacama, in the extreme north of Chile, is the driest desert in the world.
Make sure you always carry a good supply of water with you, you will not need big amounts of food; the scenery will feed your spirit to such an extent that your body will not require the extra energy. You will lose weight and be uplifted, what more can you ask of a place?
All right, I might be exaggerating slightly, but there is a lot of truth to it as well.
**************************************
The borders of the Atacama Desert are not very precisely outlined; they are1000 to 1100 kilometres long (600 to 700 miles), snaking all the way from Chile's northern border with Peru (in Region I - Chile is divided into 12 regions), down to Antofagasta in Region II (still in the north of Chile really, but further down!).

It's a great environment to fight in - the first Gulf War setting gives us towns to explore, dangerous deserts to work through, military bases to infiltrate and attack . there are no repetitive levels which are just a slighty different version of the one you've just been through.
