"One hundred and thirty-four metres of outstretched flight, drawn on the ground for the sky to see"
Nasca - El Cóndor
Nazca, Ica, Peru
At one hundred and thirty-four metres, the Condor is one of the largest figurative geoglyphs in the Nazca corpus. Its outstretched wings and distinctive profile are unmistakable from the air. The Andean condor represents the upper world in South American cosmology — its flight connects earth to sky.
