In Huasca de Ocampo, a picturesque village nestled in the Sierra de Pachuca, Hidalgo, elves have become protagonists of countless pranks, jokes and lost property, to the degree that skeptics become believers.
In Latin American mythology these elves are called duendes, similar to leprechauns or trolls. Duendes are about 20 inches tall and run around the mountain town naked. Both the male and females have long hair, and males grow beards. They mostly live in the surrounding jungle areas of Huasca de Ocampo and spend their days eating figs.
Duendes can only be seen by special people, unless the Duende . . .
