Paracas Candelabra, Peru
Visit to check out great information about mysterious and fantastic places on earth.
This is the Huge Candelabra carved in Paracas. No one knows what this means or why it was carved. Archaeological experts have found pottery near the site and dated it to 200 BCE. There are many theories of what this symbol means. The main ones are:
1. A representation of the trident, a lightning rod of the god Viracocha, who was seen in mythology throughout South America.
2. A symbolic representation of a hallucinogenic plant called Jimson weed.
3. A masonic symbol.
4. José de San Martín, Liberator of Peru carved it to announce his arrival to the people.

El Candelabro, Paracas Candelabra, Paracas, Pisco Province, Ica Region, Peru, South America
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. It is approximately 595 feet long, and is visible for several miles out to sea. The geoglyph consists of 2-foot-deep (0.61 m) trenches carved into the hillside and stones used to mark its edges. Other lines are also carved into the hillside near it. Local tradition holds that it represents the lightning rod or staff of the god Viracocha, who was worshipped throughout South America. A variety of popular myths have arisen: one attributes it to José de San Martín; another suggests it is a Masonic symbol (see Freemasonry); and yet another that sailors created it as a sign which they could view at sea for landfall. Visitors to the Candelabra should view the site under the supervision of a responsible and accredited guide. Although the exact age of the Candelabra geoglpyh is unknown, archaeologists have found pottery around the site dating back to around 200 B.C. This pottery likely belonged to the Paracas people, although whether they were involved in the creation of the geoglyph is not known. The reason for the Candelabra's creation is also unknown, although it is most likely a representation of the trident, a lightning rod of the god Viracocha, who was seen in mythology throughout South America. It has been suggested that the Candelabra was built as a sign to sailors, or even as a symbolic representation of a hallucinogenic plant called Jimson weed.
The Candelabra was first discovered by Spanish explorers in South America.

Candélabre de Paracas Pérou
Le candélabre de Paracas , est un géoglyphe gravé à flanc de désert sur la péninsule de Paracas au Pérou dans la Réserve nationale de Paracas , a 16 kms au sud de Pisco 05/10/15
El Candelabro, Paracas, Perú
El candelabro es grabado en roca de color crema, pero mayormente tapado con arena. La arena nunca llega a borrar por completo el candelabro debido a los vientos que siempre están quitando el exceso de arena de los canales.
Se cree que el candelabro de Paracas tiene relación con las líneas y geoglífos de Nazca.
La mejor forma de apreciar este geoglifo es desde el mar y los tours a las Islas Ballestas siempre pasan y paran algunos minutos para que los turistas pueden tomar sus fotos.

The Mysterious Prehistoric Geoglyph Of The Paracas Candelabra
The Nazca Lines in southern Peru are some of the best known geoglyphs on earth, but they aren’t the only ones in the Nazca desert. About 200 kilometers north west of Nazca is another isolated and somewhat less popular geoglyph called Paracas Candelabra. It is also known as the “Candelabra of the Andes” because of its resemblance to a three-branched candlestick.
The geoglyph is etched on the sloping face of a hill at Pisco Bay on the Peruvian coast. The design has been cut into the soil to a depth of two feet with stones, possibly from a later date, placed around it. The figure is 181 meters tall, large enough to be seen as far as twenty kilometers out at sea.
The Paracas Candelabra is generally attributed to the Paracas Culture of the first millennium BCE, based on pottery discovered in the area that was radiocarbon dated to 200 BC. The pottery likely belonged to the Paracas people, although it has never been confirmed whether they were involved in the creation of the geoglyph.
The overall shape of the geoglyps is that of a trident—possibly representing the lightning rod of the god Viracocha, a mythological figure in South America— the branches split out further into more smaller branches. Some say it looks more like a cactus.
Frank Joseph, an author obsessed with alternative theories, have found likeness of a hallucinogenic plant called jimson (Datura stramomium) in Paracas Candelabra. His theory is that prehistoric inhabitants of the Paracas region travelled north to California to collect the plant, and the geoglyph was used to help navigate home. The idea that the geoglyph was used as a navigational aid is an old one though. Locals believe it was used by sailors to identify the peninsula.

PARAGLIDING Peru near MACHU PICCHU (Part 1)
This is my altitude record soaring flight to almost 19,000 feet (18,697 ft.). I've been soaring since 1987. I was able to manage this feat while on a guided tour that our friends Karina (the tour coordinator) and Max (the expert advanced instructor) put on. Thanks to Karina for making it possible for us to fly here, Karina arranged for us to stay just 100 yards from a great landing zone(a soccer field), at a great ranch hotel(Roca Fuerte). She's always has that much needed optimistic encouragement too. Thanks to Max's positive, mentoring and instruction. Thanks to Mother nature for the currents to carry me to that epic height of my flying life.
The tour was of the wonderful flying region Valle Sagrado in the Peruvian Andie's near Machu Picchu, October 2012
Incredible!
