However, we have chosen El Mono as it refers to one of many geoglyphs drawn by the Nazca culture in the Nazca desert in southern Peru, speculated to have been made sometime between 400 and 650 AD. Along with The Monkey, many other strange and animal-like figures can be found in Nazca. These magnificent geoglyphs are so big, that they can only be fully viewed and appreciated by flying over them! These fascinating figures are collectively known as the Nazca Lines.
