Categories: Nature
By Pictolic https://pictolic.com/article/red-lagoon-in-chile.htmlIn the city of Camina, in northern Chile, 147 km from the city of Iquique and about 3700 m above sea level is the Red Lagoon. Its waters have such a bright red hue that it seems as if it is a lagoon of red ink or blood. The locals knew about this place, but it remained unknown even to the National Tourism Service until 2009.

1. This region has long been inhabited by the Indian Aymara people, who managed to keep the ancient secrets and legends of this land.
2. As the Egyptian tombs have mysterious curses, this red pool is also rumored to be cursed, and this curse is placed on all who approach the red waters.
3. That is why no one knows exactly where the lagoon is, and for the same reason it is not on the map.
4. The disappearance of thousands of Aymaras is also attributed to this curse, since representatives of the ancient people allegedly drank water from the lagoon.
5. The lagoon is surrounded by two pools of yellow and green water, and, they say, if evil people appear nearby, the water in them begins to boil.
6. Locals believe that the devil himself is the owner of these reservoirs.
7. Scientists believe that the lagoon owes its color to different types of algae living in its depths.
