Explanation:

The climate is extremely diverse and depends on the landscape of a particular area. Daily fluctuations are very large (up to 20°C).

One can observe different climatic conditions as the height increases - from moderate temperate zones to cold. The height of the Andean mountain range mainly affects the climatic diversity of the Andean region, but also affects the aridity of the coast, preventing the passage of rain from the east (from Selva).
