An average of 37,500 people attend the neurological restoration and rehabilitation room on the Isle of Youth each month, which includes baths in the hot springs of Santa Fe.
AukiHimairo's death was not well regarded by the gods and they granted the young man eternal life by turning her body into a fountain with healing properties, according to the story in 1776 Alexandre Olivier Esquemeling.
The corsair doctor, upon learning of the prodigy, which made news in the Caribbean, told AukiHimairo what had happened, who refused to massacre other tribes of Cuba, disobeyed his mandate, who had sent him as captain to lead a warrior expedition.
Accused of being a traitor, he was killed by his own father, the chief Takamena, who left him stiff on the banks of the river, where he was found by friendly hands who, when trying to lift him, saw how the corpse was transformed into a source of warm and crystalline water.
Esquemeling also alluded to the benefits of this water source, baptized by the Spanish in 1870 as Santa Rita, emanating from the body of a son of Siguanea, one of the first toponymics of today's Isle of Youth.
Other Cuban doctors such as Ramón Piña and Pezuela (1849), José de la Luz Hernández (1857) and Manuel Negro and Fernández corroborated what the English adventurer affirmed, water is effective in venereal, liver, digestive, pulmonary and epidermal diseases, among others .
AukiHimairo still benefits those who come from different latitudes of the planet and Cuba to La Fe, some 16 kilometers from Nueva Gerona to regain their health by drinking or bathing in the warm fountain with healing properties.
