Legend says that during Spanish rule, there was a beautiful young woman named Añañuca who lived near the Limarí River. She fell in love with a gold miner, who disappeared into the desert one day . Añañuca died of grief. Her family wept for her and buried her on a rainy day. When the sun came out and shone on her grave, the site was filled with beautiful red flowers, named for Añañuca in honor of her pain.
