What is el candelabro?

El Candelabro (The Candelebra) is a mysterious geoglyph that stands nearly 150 meters tall on the Paracas Peninsula in Peru. It is an enigmatic prehistoric feature carved into the hillside, looming over the Pacific Ocean. The Candelabro's origin is unknown, but it is believed to have been created by the ancient Paracas people, who were skilled in geoglyph-making. The purpose of this giant geoglyph remains a mystery, although some experts speculate that it may have been a navigational or ritualistic marker for the ancient mariners of Peru. The Candelabro is now considered a national treasure and has been protected by the Peruvian government as a historical monument. Tourists can view the Candelabro from a distance by boat or from a lookout point on the Paracas Peninsula.
