Geoglyph of a Slithering Python Snake

Posted by c tito young on 16 February 2021 in English. Last updated on 11 March 2021.

A geoglyph of a giant python snake (210m long x 10m wide) oriented west (head) to east (tail) and located at the top of a large flat hill appears to be slithering away. The sinuous shape of the snake makes an appearance of its body slithering along the ground. It is unclear the reason for this snake, but it could be assumed its direction points to the nearest manner in which to get to the sea.
At the bottom of the hill, to west is another geoglyph called “Gigante”. There are also a few geoglyph shapes at the foot of the hill towards the south.

Location: Nazca, Province of Nasca, Ica, 11401, Peru
