Huacachina is worked around a little normal lake in the desert. Called the "desert spring of America," it serves as a resort for neighborhood families from the adjacent city of Ica, and progressively as a fascination for travelers drawn by the games of sandboarding and taking rise carriage rides on sand rises that extend a few hundred feet high.
Legend holds that the tidal pond was made when an excellent local princess was secured at her shower by a youthful seeker. She fled, leaving the pool of water she had been washing into turned into the tidal pond. The folds of her mantle, spilling behind her as she ran, turned into the encompassing sand rises. Also, the lady herself is reputed to even now live in the desert garden as a mermaid.
Private landowners close to the desert garden have introduced wells, which has diminished the level of water in the desert garden. To make up for this water misfortune, and save the desert garden as a tastefully satisfying destination for voyagers, the city started a procedure of misleadingly pumping water into the desert spring.
