Lodo is the Word for Mud!

Parque Cajas Hella frio

Cajas is the park of a million lakes, the following story is not from this park but is my favorite lake story.

In a time before airplanes or the World Wide Web there was a woman who fell in love with a snake. They loved each other madly but could never marry because she was a woman and he was a snake. Many men fell at her feet but she would only have Snake. Overtime their love grew into a pregnancy, which followed with her being disowned by her family. Sadly, the complications of interanimalmilman childbirth made her loose the baby and she committed suicide by drowning herself. When she ran into the lake she splintered into a million pieces of gold, which for many generations seduced men from far and wide. They would dip their hands into the water and pull out the gold, when they couldn't´t reach it by hand they would walk into the water. First just to their ankles and then to their knees until they too would drown in their lust. She still lives in a lake around here seducing men into her depths.
