When these swollen people left Moca and went to town the people called them `the jinchaítos of Juan Lopez”. The Mocanos (The name was given to the inhabitants of the Moca area) who used this contaminated water started to have a swollen (in Spanish the word is hinchadas) appearance. The thirsty people living in Moca had no other place where they could get their water so they had no choice but to use this nasty water. These small reservoirs of water soon became contaminated. The only water left in the area where large “puddles” of water. Along came a drought and the stream dried up almost completely. The families living here used the water from the stream Juan Lopez for their water supply.

The Town of Moca has a legend: “¡Llegó un Jinchaíto de moca!”Īccording to legend families living in the Moca area in the early 20th century were people of white color with straight hair, blue eyes and a little plump.
