A lot of them due to their placement where the Incas lived before. But, the lake is surrounded by a lot of mountain deities that look as if they are almost keeping watch over it.

The locals say that <strong>Humantay<\/strong> is the younger brother of <strong>Apu Salkantay<\/strong> and that they are in charge of providing the water that comes down from the peaks.
