Huge Images Created Across the Rocky Landscape of Chile

The Atacama Geoglyphs are more numerous and widespread than their more famous counparts at Nazca. They are found in the Chilean Atacama desert in the nort east of the country. They can be found in an area of over 100 square miles . They depict many subjects, Llamas and similar animals e.g. vicunas. Lizards, fish, birds, crosses, humans, chessboards and other geometric designs. They can be found alone or in groups some as many as 65 geoglyphs. The smallest figure is about 1m tall and the largest the Atacama Giant 115m high. They are found near major trade routes in the area and like all geoglyphs can only be seen from the air. Dating these geoglyphs is very difficult as newer ones have been overlaid, there is some evidence that they may be 2500 years old.
