That Sunday, as every Sunday of the week Maya and her mom went to visit bringing food to her grandmother's house Shemya, in the jungle of Masisea on the lower Ucayali, in the Peruvian Amazon, to arrive at the house of Shemya had to paddle canoe, a creek that was passing the entrance to an oxbow lake (Lake of the forest), on whose banks was the grandmother's house.
That day came late, after noon, the boat settled down and stayed for lunch and afternoon were entertained talking until 4 pm, when it should return home for that and grandmother had served and Shamy invited a bit of coffee to calm the people could return.
is available for coffee breaks and that's a big storm with lightning, thunder and heavy rain, those rains that only occur in the forest ...
had to wait out the storm and sail in these conditions the river is too dangerous, by then the hours passed and there was when the storm is over, would be like 7 at night, everything was dark, only had the light of the "flask" (a kind of lamp with which light up the forest dwellers who lack electricity), after some time they heard a tremendous roar that paralyzed from fear-never before had heard something similar-but what was that sound? was as if something will slip, as when producing the downing of trees in the forest, as a kind of avalanche, a crane, perhaps, was a sound that in places not usually happen to me once ... noise happened, they were eager to return, plus it was dark, the rain was happening and told the grandmother Shemya it best to sleep and wait for daybreak to return to the town, the two nodded and stayed.
awoke the next day much more relieved had breakfast and got ready to leave, Grandma was the one who came first in the house, just opened the door was left shocked and screamed, to this mother and rushed out to Maya see what happens when self-absorbed were also what happened? was the most incomprehensible for any human mind, the entrance to the car no longer existed in their place were trees and forest medium place entry had changed their place was on the side opposite the original entry! then realized that he had changed the place of trees and created a new car was the legendary and many times named "Yacumama" .
But ... Yacumama What is? Yacumana the stories of those living in the Amazon, the giant boa, the mother of water, the mother of the lakes (Tipishca or gaps) in the places where they live abundant fish and water (Yacu = Water, breast = mother) the natives can fish and enjoy the water and when part, when you go, the inlet dry.
Its enormous size is able to drag aguajales or uproot trees growing on the banks of streams.
But the myth is not far from reality, there have been cases of encounters with giant anacondas, rather Yacumama, as you can see from the pictures ...
