Today’s video

In today’s video, we get to see the “Oasis of America” in the middle of a Peruvian desert. The oasis is located in southwestern Peru and the village built around it is called Huacachina. The footage was captured by Seven Cinematics on a DJI Mavic Pro in 4K. Oh, if you haven’t had your coffee yet, the music will get you going. Enjoy!

Here’s what Seven Cinematics had to say about the short clip:

“Legend holds that the lagoon was created when a beautiful native princess removed her clothes to bathe, but looking into a mirror, she saw a male hunter approaching her from behind. Startled at the intrusion, she fled the area leaving behind her mirror which turned into a lake. Other versions hold that she fled, leaving the pool of water she had been bathing in to become the lagoon. The folds of her mantle, streaming behind her as she ran, became the surrounding sand dunes. And the woman herself is rumored to still live in the oasis as a mermaid.”
