I assume it’s somewhere in the highlands of the Atacama Desert.

The location with the highest diurnal ranges I could find is Uyuni in Peru, which has a high of 13.1C and a low of -9.7C in July, giving a diurnal range of 22.8C. The UV index there is also dangerously high.

Apparently it has mean diurnal temperature range of over 20ºC (36ºF). That's nutz! Low Lows and High Highs Park
