about

Elcha

An old legend tells of a time when two tribes fell to war, and a marriage was arranged for the benefit of peace. The beautiful daughter of one chief, Elcha, would be married to the son of the opposing chief, and, by this union, the coflict could end.

Elcha,however, was in love with a young man from her tribe and they decided to run away together. Soon realising that it would be impossible to escape the anger of both tribes with their lives, the lovers committed suicide together by throwing themselves into The Laguna de la Niña Encantada's icy waters, drowning together in a final embrace.

On moonlit nights the reflection of the water is said to return the image of Elcha, who eternally haunts the pool, along with the spirit of her beloved.
