Great site to visit. The largest intaglio is sort of off the beaten track, off the main road in without interpretive parking.

Due to natural erosion the geoglyph is now far more faint, though restoration efforts were undertaken in 2016.
No real reason other than I was searching for something else, spotted a post about the #Paracas people, remembered our visit to #Peru, and felt like sharing the #ParacasCandelabra we saw there in 2019. Similar to the #NazcaLines but older, this #geoglyph is 181 metres high, dates from around 200BCE, and can be seen from 20km away at sea.
@inti I call this Pueblo Colorado Circle. Are #geoglyph or #intaglio better?
Another #GreatCircle on #PachaMama. Outlines in my graphic are relative sizes.
#Stonehenge fits inside the tiny circle beside #NewarkOctagon.
