Resumo: Relationships among the peasants and the lagoons in rural communities situated in the northern Andes in Peru are ambiguous. The lagoons, located at the top of the mountains, appear as ferocious entities in the stories of local people. However, when these waters were threatened by a mining project, the peasants defended these lagoons with their own lives. This work aims to analyse narratives concerning the metamorphosis of humans when they are seduced by these lagoons. The paper is based on ethnographic research conducted between 2013 and 2014 in the village of El Tambo, in the district of Bambamarca, Hualgayoc Province, and the town of Celendín, Celendín Province. Both localities are within the region of Cajamarca in the Peruvian Andes. Besides this period of research, new reports and testimonies were collected in both localities during short visits between 2016 and 2020. Certain categories, like wild/tame, sweet/savoury, voracious/self-controlled, are essential to the analysis in order to understand the relationship between the seduction of the beings that inhabit the lagoons and the repudiation of the voracity of open-pit mining.

As relações entre os camponeses e as lagoas nas comunidades rurais de Cajamarca, norte andino do Peru, são ambíguas. As lagoas que estão situadas no alto das montanhas aparecem como entidades bravas nos relatos das pessoas, contudo, quando as fontes de águas foram ameaçadas por um projeto de mineração, os camponeses as defenderam com as suas próprias vidas. O objetivo aqui é realizar uma análise de narrativas que tratam das lagoas e da metamorfose de humanos quando são seduzidos por elas. Este documento se fundamenta em uma pesquisa etnográfica de campo entre os anos de 2013 e 2014 no povoado rural El Tambo, distrito de Bambamarca, província de Hualgayoc e na cidade de Celendín, província de Celendín. São duas localidades da região de Cajamarca nos Andes do Peru. Além desse período de pesquisa, novos relatos e testemunhos foram coletados em viagens curtas a ambas as localidades entre os anos 2016 e 2020. Algumas categorias articuladas, tais como bravo/manso, doce/salgado, voraz/disciplinado, apresentaram-se como indispensáveis na análise a fim de se chegar a uma compreensão da relação entre a sedução dos seres que habitam as lagoas e o repúdio à voracidade da mineração a céu aberto.
