What does El Mono mean? Thought you'd never ask! El Mono is Spanish for "The Monkey." In the Nazca desert in southern Peru, there are many geoglyphs, etched on the ground by the Nazca people, known as the Nazca Lines. These magnificent designs are speculated to have been made sometime between 400 and 650 AD and are so big in scale, that they can only be fully viewed and appreciated from an aerial perspective! One of the most famous geoglyphs of the Nazca Lines is "The Monkey." El Mono is both delightful and mystifying, much like the flavors and ingredients of Peru!
