Until not long ago, in towns with water shortages, public laundries were built for the inhabitants to do their laundry; sites that now constitute picturesque testimonies of bygone times, the public laundries of Aculco were built in 1882, taking advantage of the Ojo de Agua spring, the main source of supply for the population. For more than 100 years there has been a legend in Aculco of some children who would have been found by a witch, taking them to a pirú tree located next to the laundries, whose trunk took the form of some children embracing.
