Colibri Virtual Challenge Nazca Peru

Colibri Virtual Run Challenge Nazca Peru. The Nazca Lines are a collection of giant geoglyphs—designs or motifs etched into the ground—located in the Peruvian coastal plain about 250 miles south of Lima, Peru. Created by the ancient Nazca culture in South America, and depicting various plants, animals, and shapes, the 2,000-year-old Nazca Lines can only be fully appreciated when viewed from the air given their massive size. Despite being studied for over 80 years, the geoglyphs—which were designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1994—are still a mystery to researchers.

This ancient mistery inspired us to creat Nazca lines virtual run challenge . In total, there are over 800 straight lines, 300 geometric figures and 70 animal and plant designs. Straight lines go up to 30 miles, while the biomorphs vary from 50 to 1 200 feet in length.

The most common hypothesis for Nazca lines is that they were drawn for astronomical purposes. Maria Reiche, spent years studying the site concluded that it was a huge astronomical calendar.
