The Paracas Candelabra is a large geoglyph located on the northern face of the Paracas Peninsula at Pisco Bay in Peru. This ancient, enigmatic design, etched into the hillside, resembles a candelabrum, trident, or cactus, and measures approximately 595 feet in length. Its origins and purpose remain a mystery, though some theories suggest it may have served as a navigational guide for sailors, a religious symbol, or a marker for ancient ceremonies. The geoglyph is best viewed from the sea, and its creation is attributed to the Paracas culture, which flourished in the region around 200 BCE to 600 CE.
