The small village of Huacachina, Peru surrounds a centeral natural lagoon, or oasis, formed by underground aquifers. It is commonly referred to as the "oasis of America". According to local legends, the water and mud of the area are therapeutic. Both locals and tourists often bathe in the waters, or cover themselves with the mud in an attempt to cure ailments such as arthritis, rheumatism, asthma and bronchitis. Legend holds that the lagoon was created when a beautiful native princess removed her clothes to bathe, but after looking in a mirror and seeing a male hunter approaching her from behind, she fled the area, leaving behind her mirror, which turned into a lake.
