La Tropilla Geoglyphs

La Tropilla Geoglyphs are a collection of ancient geoglyphs located near Arica, Chile. These large-scale designs are etched into the hillsides and depict a variety of zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figures. The geoglyphs are believed to have been created by pre-Columbian cultures, potentially dating back over 500 years. Their preservation is remarkable given the arid climate of the region. Viewing is typically done from designated vantage points, as direct access to the geoglyphs is restricted to protect them. The site offers a unique opportunity to observe these ancient artworks and contemplate the history of the region.
