It is about five kilometers from the city of Ica in the Ica District of Ica Province.[1] The oasis was introduced as a feature on the back of the 50 nuevo sol note in 1991. Huacachina has a permanent population of around 100 people,[2] although it hosts many tens of thousands of tourists each year. Huacachina is built around a small natural lake in the desert. Commonly referred to as the "oasis of America", it is a resort geared to local families from the nearby city of Ica, and increasingly as an attraction for tourists drawn by the sports of sandboarding on the sand dunes that stretch several hundred feet high.[3] Other popular activities include dune buggy rides on buggies known locally as areneros.[4] According to local legends, the water and mud of the area is therapeutic. Both locals and tourists often bathe in the waters or cover themselves with the mud in an attempt to cure ailments such as arthritis, rheumatism, asthma and bronchitis.[5] Legend holds that the lagoon was created when a beautiful native princess removed her clothes to bathe, but after looking in a mirror she saw a male hunter approaching her from behind. Startled at the intrusion, she fled the area leaving behind her mirror which turned into a lake.[6] Other versions hold that she fled, leaving the pool of water she had been bathing in to become the lagoon. The folds of her mantle, streaming behind her as she ran, became the surrounding sand dunes. The woman herself is rumoured to still live in the oasis as a mermaid.[7] HistoryWater stopped seeping into the lake in the 1980s and this has now started to become a threat to the lagoon. Recently{{when|date=September 2018}}, private landowners near the oasis have installed wells, which has reduced the level of water in the oasis.[8][9] To compensate for this water loss, and preserve the oasis as an aesthetically pleasing destination for tourists, a group of ten businessmen devised a plan to pump water from a nearby farm into the lagoon. The process of artificially pumping water into the oasis began on 2 April 2015 and since then more than 73,000 cubic metres of water have been pumped into the lagoon to raise the height of the water by as much as 3 metres. It was announced in 2016 that the Peruvian scientist Marino Morikawa, who created a nanobubble system to decontaminate lake El Cascajo, will lead a project to restore the Huacachina lagoon.[10][11] Scenery from Huacachina and its surroundings was used in Apple's iPhone Xs launch video[12]. {{Panorama|image = File:Huacachina_Dunes.jpg |height = 330 |caption = Huacachina and surrounding dunes }} References1. ^Atlas Obscure: Huacachina 2. ^Discovery Channel Australia: Huacachina 3. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O3eK1nVLHgMC|title=V!VA Travel Guides: Peru|last=Segreda|first=Ricardo|last2=Newton|first2=Paula|last3=Caputo|first3=Lorraine|date=2009-01-01|publisher=Viva Publishing Network|isbn=9780979126437|language=en}} 4. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=5_lh5t6od1kC|title=Lonely Planet Peru|last=Planet|first=Lonely|last2=McCarthy|first2=Carolyn|last3=Miranda|first3=Carolina A.|last4=Raub|first4=Kevin|last5=Sainsbury|first5=Brendan|last6=Waterson|first6=Luke|date=2013-03-01|publisher=Lonely Planet|isbn=9781743216248|language=en}} 5. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nP1LAMJ1IEgC|title=The Rough Guide to Peru|last=Jenkins|first=Dilwyn|date=2003-01-01|publisher=Rough Guides|isbn=9781843530749|language=en}} 6. ^{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nP1LAMJ1IEgC|title=The Rough Guide to Peru|last=Jenkins|first=Dilwyn|date=2003-01-01|publisher=Rough Guides|isbn=9781843530749|language=en}} 7. ^El Huachinero: Huacachina's Legend 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.peruviantimes.com/huacachina-lagoon-level-drops-sharply-due-to-well-pump-failure/01845|title=Huacachina lagoon level drops sharply due to well pump failure |year=2008|work=Peruvian Times}} 9. ^Peru This Week: Water level in Huacahina Lagoon Drops (2013) 10. ^{{Cite web|url=http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2016/07/06/peruvian-scientist-who-revived-wetlands-aims-to-clean-up-lake-titicaca/|title=Peruvian scientist who revived wetlands aims to clean up Lake Titicaca|date=2016-07-06|language=en-US|access-date=2016-08-04|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20160812013402/http://latino.foxnews.com/latino/news/2016/07/06/peruvian-scientist-who-revived-wetlands-aims-to-clean-up-lake-titicaca/|archivedate=2016-08-12|df=}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.agenciaplano.com/eng/news.php?news_id=93|title=Peruvian scientist uses nanotechnology to recover polluted lake|language=pt-BR|access-date=2016-08-04}} 12. ^https://www.apple.com/105/media/us/iphone-xr/2018/e7f073a7-e8ae-4c18-937b-91d8939fcadd/films/design/iphone-xr-design-tpl-cc-us-2018_1280x720h.mp4 External links{{Commons}}
