Inca Lagoon. Portillo - CHILE

Direccion: Portillo

Laguna del Inca is the name given to a lagoon located in the Andes mountain range in the Portillo area, located in the province of Los Andes, Valpara?so Region, in Chile.

The legend tells that it is the soul of the Inca Illi Yunqui that returns to wander over the lake tomb in which he buried his beloved, Princess Kora-ll?, tragically fallen on a precipice during the feast of a nascu or royal hunt. The Inca whose pain shook the mountain, believed, with his soul of a poet that no human sarcophagus would be comparable to that grave. Wrapped in white linens, the graceful body was descending to the blue depth, before the pained imperial entourage; and since then the water has emanated with the emerald hue of the beautiful eyes that the son of the sun could never awaken.
