Apoyo Lagoon is a source of pride for Nicaraguans, a gift from the gods whose crystal-clear waters reflect a piece of heaven. There are many varied and fabulous stories that surround this area. In its surroundings, many inhabitants claim to have stumbled upon mysterious figures who, dressed in the most exotic garments, appear out of nowhere, leaving those who have the fortune or misfortune to encounter them perplexed. Old men of the forest, little men with golden teeth, apparitions walking on the lagoon without getting wet, goblins with terrifying faces or sorcerers from nearby villages are all part of its beautiful paths.
Not only are the trails filled with mystery. It is also said that the lagoon itself is home to an immense snake with two horns. Some insist that it eats humans all year round. Other versions suggest that it only appears during Holy Week. People has to be really careful if they decide to refresh themselves in its waters. Those who drown will be transformed into animals, or even worse, they may be drawn to the bottom where there is a city of submerged women waiting for their next victim to arrive.
