 "LEGEND OF THE MERMAID OF THE HUACACHINA
LAGOON"
ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A YOUNG INCA PRINCESS WHO LIVED NEAR A
LAGOON WAS KNOWN BY EVERYONE AS HUACACHINA (THE ONE WHO MAKES
YOU CRY). SHE WAS A PRINCESS WITH GREEN EYES, GOLDEN HAIR AND WHO
SANG IN A FANTASTIC WAY TO THE POINT THAT EVERYONE WHO HEARD HER
MELODY CRIED, BECAUSE SHE HAD A SECRET AND THAT WAS THAT HER HEART
WAS IN LOVE WITH A HAPPY MAN.
EVENTUALLY THE PRINCESS WAS LOOKING FOR A CORNER WHERE TO CRY AND
WHEN SHE FELT FREE, SHE DUG A HOLE IN FRONT OF THE TREE WHERE TO SINK
THE SWEET NAME OF HER LOVE. ONCE IN THE HOLE SHE HAD DUG IN THE SAND,
IN FRONT OF THE CAROB TREE, IT WAS FILLED WITH WARM WATER AND SHE
IMMERSED HERSELF IN IT. WHEN SHE CAME OUT OF THE BATH, SHE WRAPPED
HERSELF IN THE SAVANNAH AND WHEN SHE SAW HERSELF IN THE MIRROR, SHE
DISCOVERED A HUNTER, WHO, SEEING HER BEAUTY, WAS ENCHANTED BY HER
CHARMS, COMING LIKE A SATYR, TOWARDS HER.
THE PRINCESS FLED, STUBBORNLY PURSUED BY THE HUNTER AMONG THE
DUNES AND HEATHS IN WHICH SHE WAS LEAVING PIECES OF HER CLOAK, WHICH
AT TIMES REVEALED HER NAKEDNESS. THE SAVANNAH BECAME ENTANGLED IN
A THRUSH, AND THE PRINCESS WAS LEFT DESOLATE, NOT NOTICING ANYTHING.
THEN THE OPEN SAVANNAH BECAME SANDY. THE PRINCESS CONTINUED TO
FLEE WITH HER MIRROR HELD HIGH, WHEN SHE WANTED TO JUMP SHE
STUMBLED AND FROM HER FIST, LACKING STRENGTH, THE MIRROR ESCAPED.
IN THE END A COMMOTION OCCURRED, BECAUSE THE BROKEN MIRROR BECAME
A LAGOON AND THE PRINCESS WAS TRANSFORMED INTO A MERMAID THAT ON
MOONLIT NIGHTS COMES OUT TO SING HER ANCIENT SONG.
CITIZENS OF THE AREA SAY THAT THERE IS AN ENCHANTED CORVINA, WHICH
THEY SAY THEY HAVE SEEN, BUT EVEN IF THEY CATCH THE NETS THEY NEVER
MANAGE TO CATCH IT. THERE IS ALSO A LEGEND OF THE OLD WOMAN WHO
PLAYS HER LITTLE BOX TO INCREASE THE FLOW OF WATER AND IS THE
EXPLANATION GIVEN BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE STRANGE SOUND OF THE HILLS
WHEN THE WIND BLOWS IT.
