A free form tree and two reaching hands. Lines made by removing darkened pebbles to reveal the lighter desert surface beneath. Made by the Nasca culture in the first millennium.
This site lies directly by the PanAmerican Highway. A viewing platform at the top of a tower allows visitors to see both of these two geoglyphs.
Note: Plan to be carried out to protect Nasca Line figure from Heavy Rains. See comment.
