Legend has it that in the Andes of Mérida, specifically in the Sierra Nevada, there was an indigenous tribe. The princess of the tribe was called Tibisay. She was the girlfriend of the brave warrior Murachí.
The night before going to fight, she delighted them with her singing and dancing and in the morning they would engage in combat with the invaders of their lands. They would fight with the "children of the sun", which is what they called the Spanish colonizers who carried fearsome weapons.
The warrior Murachí told his princess that if he returned alive from combat, she would be his wife. But if, on the contrary, he died, she asked her to flee and not to let herself be caught because the colonizers would enslave her.
Murachí died in the confrontation, and the invading Spaniards enslaved the Indians and destroyed their fields, but Princess Tibisay fled.
According to the legend, when the breeze blows the Spanish heard the sad song of the princess who did not stop crying for her beloved Murachí. They say that with her tears the Arbarregas River was formed.
In the city of Mérida you can see a statue in his honor. Very close to it there is a park in Los Chorros De Milla that has a waterfall with the name of Princess Tibisay.
I'll most definitely see this waterfall and the statue... Such a short story for something rather significant.
