HUACACHINA LAGUNA O OASIS

LAGOON Or OASIS OF HUACACHINA?

A fast consultation to the mataburros (dictionary) indicates to us that, lagoon is water deposit a natural, generally sweet and of smaller dimensions than the lake.

As far as precise oasis that it is a site with vegetation and sometimes with springs, that are isolated in the sandy deserts of Africa and Asia.

These gentlemen of the Real Spanish Academy forget that also there are deserts in the America.

On the origin of the Huacachina, a legend exists that deals with a love history, that is transferred to the pre-Hispanic times. Beautiful doncella, originating of the near town of Tacaraca, that gets heartbroken at this place, where only there were a few guarangos, to cry the death of loved his, according to some versions a brave incaico general. The tears of this woman, of green eyes and very black hair, were forming the lagoon little by little. One says that in the full moon-lits night still their moans can be listened, those that the visitors confuse off guard.
