Peru (heart) Large Type

Nowhere in the world do they like putting large type on the hills as much as they do in Peru. A lot of these messages refer to political parties such as the UPP (Union for Peru) and Somos Peru so were presumably written around the Peru elections of April 2001.

There’s absolutly loads of things, a lot of which I either can’t make out in Google Local or can’t understand as I don’t speak Spanish, such as here, here, here, here and here! You might find it easier to view them all on our embedded map or in Google Earth.

Well it’s gotta be Jesus, right? I mean that dude’s forever popping up in toast/paint/fungus etc. so why should sand dunes be any different?
