Take a look at this Google Earth map. It is not a flat surface, it is actually indented into the earth and the area is quite rocky. It is about a little over a mile in radius.

According to Google maps it is 42 minutes from my house.
That is cool looking, I saw a episode on (I think NatGeo)about this, and all the speculation on who could have made this. Well, I think it was Mother Nature that made this. We are hard-wired from birth to recognize faces, so it is no wonder that we can pick out faces in the landscape on even in clouds.
Look at the surrounding terrain: the head is clearly the result of erosion - just like the Cydonia face on Mars. You can see the drainage patterns in the areas around the head. As Terryj says, our wetware is primed (though not hardwired) to see faces, and it's something we learn to do as infants as we learn to recognize the faces of our caretakers.

Regarding visiting it: from an article I read, you see nothing on the ground. It's only from high in the air that you see the "head".
Your speculation is based on recent erosion this face has been here for hundreds of years. Erosion will slowly weather it. This face has very high articulation and the surrounding landscape doesn't have anything quite like it. Which leads to this being highly artificial due to the difficulty that weather can produce this level of articulation.
As for the Cydonia face, it is not a simple natural effect because nature does not produce symmetry. That is where your assumption that some natural effect would produce that face. Nature can create circles or shapes but it doesn't produce symmetrical effects. The face on mars is slowly disappearing due to Martial storms and winds. But there are closeup shots that NASA hasn't shown to the public which shows a very high structure with symmetrical walls that is not a natural phenomenon.

Since it was only recently discovered in a Google image and is not visible from the surface, how do you know it's been here for hundreds of years?
It's as eroded as the surrounding terrain. And I have no idea what "very high articulation" means - it's not a geological term I'm familiar with. Perhaps you can enlighten the rest of us.

If you haven't seen symmetry in nature, you haven't looked very far.
They did a higher resolution follow-up shot of the Cydonia face - and there is no face, only an eroded mesa. The supposed "bilateral symmetry" is only an accident of the light, and the low resolution of the original image.
And if you have closeup shots that the public doesn't know about, how do you (or whatever conspiracy theorist you're referring to) know about them?
