Human beings have regularly found ways of leaving traces to explain their world. Rock art, of course, has been found wherever people have evolved. Among the most impressive of these works are the Nazca lines in Peru. These immense geoglyphs made by a pre-incasic culture fascinate by their gigantism and the skill of those who traced them.
Now, thanks to modern technology, other creations have been observed in a slightly more remote region, in Palpa. These lines were almost invisible to the naked eye, but the use of drones made it possible to detect multiple magnificent traces similar in style to those at Nazca.
