Geoglyphs of Hairpin Turns

Posted by c tito young on 2 March 2021 in English. Last updated on 11 April 2021.

In an area of about 600m long and 400m wide, hairpin geoglyphs mark the landscape. Multiple lines possibly added up over 10,000m are characterized by successions of hairpin turns on the flat valley floor. The lines appear in a straight north / east to south / west direction and result in distances approximately 3m from one another and terminates into a 180 hairpin turn curves repeating itself multiple times. Erosion has erased some of the hairpins and possibly details.
To the north of the site, is what appears as a large 110m x 100m viewing / gathering area atop a hill. The entire site except for the viewing areas appear rather flat with a gentle slope.
