For centuries, human beings have been searching for secret of eternal youth. An elixir that would provide us with a few more years of life or even immortality. And when you start to get crescents under your eyes and wrinkles in places you thought didn’t exist, there are no creams that are worth it. So the question is: Will traveling be the solution?
The first to embark on this journey was Juan Ponce de León, one of the most important Spanish military figures of the 16th century and known for discovering Florida in 1513. According to legend, the reason for said voyage was not that, but rather it was King John II of Aragon, who, according to legend, He commissioned him to find the stream of eternal youth.
Looking for the island of Bimini, in the Bahamas, Ponce de León came across the coast of Florida, in Cape Canaveral. There, specifically in the city of Saint Augustine, is found today’The Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park‘, where we can visit one of the springs that supposedly have the elixir of eternal youth.
And as we have mentioned before, there is not only one place that enjoys having the fountain of youth. Nearby, also in the state of Florida, in South Bimini, The island that Ponce de León was looking for boasts of having miraculous waters that stop the effects of age.
However, in Neither of these two sources is proven that the water has rejuvenating properties and, much less, that they provide eternal life. Everything indicates that if we really want to find the ‘fountain of eternal youth’ and its miraculous properties, we will have to continue searching. And the sooner the better, which does not seem like an easy task.
