Not as spectacular as I had imagined, but completely visible (just barely) from the ground, in contrast to those at Nasca or the white horse in England. As the stones used are fairly similar in colour to the ground, not a large contrast between the outline and the background. It probably represents a local god, although this is not certain. There are a few other figures very close such as 2 circles, probably added later. Also further on the hill there are geoglyphs. The gigante is the only one facing sunset, all others geoglyphs in the area face the opposite direction.

Well worth a visit to see the largest prehistoric human figure in the world. A good place to stop on a long drive - with information boards about the site.
