The Candelabrum

On the slope of one of the hills that form the peninsula of Paracas is this impressive design drawn on the rock and sand. Its origin could not be defined with certainty, which has given rise to many legends that focus on the liberator Don José de San Martín, sixteenth-century corsairs, the ancient Nazca culture and even the aliens. The truth is that since it can be seen from the ocean, its function seems to be to guide navigators on the high seas.
