The Legend of the Colombian Mermaid is based on the legend of La
Sirena De Hurtado, in Valledupar, Colombia. It dates back to 1917
and tells the story of a young girl who defied her parents and went
swimming in the river on Good Friday. According to the legend the
girl turned into a mermaid because she was cursed for her
disobedience and non-observance of Good Friday a traditional
Catholic holiday. See the pictures of the monument of La Sirena De
Hurtado located at the edge of the Guatapurri River in Valledupar,
Colombia. Every summer, the swimming basin attracts hundreds of
tourists who want to see the monument of the mermaid and swim in
the crystal blue waters of this legendary river.
