The Candelabra. A mystery! We don’t know who or why (I’m not even sure if we know when). The figure is etched into the coastal hill and is over 150 meters high and 50 meters wide. According to Lonely Planet: “Some connect it to the Nazca Lines, while others propound that it served as a navigational guide for ancient sailors and was based on the Southern Cross constellation. Some even believe it to have been inspired by a local cactus species with hallucinogenic properties.” It was pretty cool to see just hanging there on the desert rock.
