A cat-shaped geoglyph about 37 meters long and more than 2,000 years old discovered on a hillside in the Peruvian Nazca desert.
The world heritage-listed Nazca geoglyphs, which were first discovered almost a century ago in southern Peru, are geometric figures depicting about 70 animals and plants. They are only visible from a bird's eye view.
According to experts, the newly discovered geoglyph belongs to an ancient civilization that inhabited Peru before the Incas (800 BC).
The Nazca geoglyphs, which were closed to tourists for seven months due to the COVID-19 pandemic, will be available again from November 10.
Participants discussed the boundary between nature and ecotourism, whether mass visits to unique areas can remain safe, the responsibilities of investors, and how to prepare tourists for visiting specially protected natural areas.
The head of state expressed confidence that the Forum will be held at a high level, and that its results will contribute to the development of tourism in Russia and the expansion of humanitarian and business ties.
