🇨🇦 The Inka Coya lagoon, also known as Chiu Chiu lagoon, is located 6 km east of the town of Chiu Chiu. This beautiful lagoon with an asymmetrical oval shape has an area of ​​1.30 hectares, its water is fresh and it is surrounded by a varied fauna and flora.

Legend: Colque-Coillur was the most beautiful of the Ñustas, her sweetness and innocence conquered the Inca Atahualpa Yupanqui, who had arrived in the beautiful lands of Chiuchiu. A promise from her beloved convinced the young woman and she offered her the most precious stone of her being, her womb coined a child. Then a betrayal by Atahualpa caused Princess Colque-Coillur to submerge in the waters of the lagoon with her child and she was never heard from again. Although intrepid and experienced swimmers searched for the injured ñusta, they were unable to find it, attributing its disappearance to the fact that the lagoon had no bottom. It was because of her tragedy that she was called Inca Coya, which means the Inca's wife or the Inca's girl.

Leyenda: Colque-Coillur era la más hermosa de las Ñustas, su dulzura y candidez conquistaron al Inca Atahualpa Yupanqui, quien había llegado a las bellas tierras chiuchiuanas. Una promesa de su amado convenció a la joven y le ofrendó la más preciada piedra de su ser, su vientre acuñó a un niño. Luego una traición de Atahualpa hizo que la princesa Colque-Coillur se sumergiera en las aguas de la laguna junto a su niño y nunca más se supo de ella. Aunque intrépidos y experimentados nadadores buscaron a la dolida ñusta, no lograron hallarla, atribuyendo su desaparición a que aquella laguna no tenía fondo.

Esta es una de las pocas lagunas existentes en el desierto más árido del mundo y pertenece al municipio de Chiu Chiu. Tiene aproximadamente 13 hectáreas y se encuentra a unos 25 minutos de la ciudad de Calama, en la región de Antofagasta, en el norte de Chile. Según la leyenda, la laguna guarda la historia del inka Atahualpa, cuando llegó a tierras chilenas con una atacamaeña que le dio el tesoro más preciado de su ser, su vientre; pasado un tiempo, el inka Atahualpa regreso casado, por lo que la mujer, enloqucida, decidió tirarse a la laguna con su hijo; así, los atacameños llaman este lugar Inca Coya, que significa...

Increíble laguna, acompañada por un hermoso bofedal. Mucha flora y fauna alrededor, lo que da entender la importancia de lugares como este en el desierto.
