Ballestas Islands | Paracas National Reserve, Peru

The Paracas Candelabra, also called the Candelabra of the Andes, is a well-known prehistoric geoglyph found on the northern face of the Paracas Peninsula at Pisco Bay in Peru. Pottery found nearby has been radio carbon dated to 200 BCE, the time of the Paracas culture. The design is cut two feet into the soil, with stones possibly from a later date placed around it. The figure is 595 feet tall, large enough to be seen 12 miles at sea. A variety of popular myths have arisen: one attributes it to José de San Martín; another suggests it is a Masonic symbol ; and yet another that sailors created it as a sign which they could view at sea for landfall.
