Description
Deep in the Amazon rainforest, in Mayantuyacu - Peru, a river flows so hot that the water actually boils.- The locals call it "Shanay-timpishka", which vaguely translates to "boiled with the heat of the sun".
- They believe that the hot water is released by a giant snake called Yacumama, "Mother of the Waters," which is represented by a large rock in the form of a snakehead at the headwaters of the river.
- The river is about 25 meters wide and 6 meters deep, but it is only 6.4 km in length.
- The water temperature ranges between 50 and 100 degrees centigrade.
