Because of hunger and thirst, the father went down the mountain to find food, but never came back. The mother then went down the mountain to find her husband. She came back with the arrow shot. When the robbers followed the track to find the cave, the mother had died and her children had been sent to a safe place and survived.

Later, red flowers were blossoming out there, called Yakando. As soon as Mother’s Day comes in the third week of October each year, the travel agencies will organize a special tour to present a bouquet of flowers for the great mother.

这里有一种红色的花,名叫亚坎多花,意思为母爱之花,它承载着一个凄美的传说。

据说,从前,亚坎多山下有一个村庄被强盗包围,只有一家人逃到山洞躲了起来,因饥渴难耐,父亲下山找食物,但一去不回,母亲下山寻丈夫,回来时被箭射伤。当强盗循着迹找到山洞时,母亲已经死去,她的孩子已经被她送到安全的地方,并存活下来。

后来,那里开出朵朵红花,被人们叫为亚坎多花。现在,每到10月的第三个星期母亲节的时候,旅行社都组织专门旅游,为伟大坚强的母亲献上红花。
