about

The Anchimallén

Lake Nahuel Huapi is not only the home of Nahuelito, the surrounding forests also conceal the Anchimallén. A mythical creature of Mapuche mythology, these creatures are created from the corpses of children and usually appear as floating, child-sized ghosts that emit a bright light.

Originally regarded as a benign fairy, the Anchimalguén [“sun-maiden” in the Mapuche language] underwent a terrible metamorphosis during the period of Hispanic conquests, morphing into the Anchimallén, creatures of horror with an unsatiable lust for human flesh. The Anchimallén haunt the forests, preying upon the unwarry and the lost.
