sixpenceee:Huacachina is a tiny town in southern Peru, an hour away from the Pacific coast. The town is a collection of resorts and restaurants around a blue-green laguna surrounded by huge sand dunes. One can sand board there and ride in a four-wheel-drive dune buggy. Legend claims every year a mermaid living in the laguna takes one man.The legend stems from the yearly drownings. People speculate that the cause of the frequent drownings is swimmers muscles cramp when the warm water on the top of the oasis mixes with cooler water below. (Source) -- source link
