Legend mentions a magical tree, called ''bacona'', that allowed the kid to play music from the lagoon's snails. This little Cuban was known for his fishing and swimming skills, as well as playing ''Batos'' (Cuban original baseball game). The kid used to sit under the ''bacona'' tree to play music from his snail. Everybody in the village was fascinated, and thought that the ability to play the music was a gift from the magical tree. Therefore, they began to call the kid ''Baconao''. One day, the young boy left the village for a trip, and never came back. The villagers believed that the kid's magic returned to the trees, and as time passed, the whole area got the name ''Baconao''. In 1987, it was declared a World Heritage Biosphere Reserve by the UNESCO.〔UNESCO.
