Some phenomena rivers can make us wonder, after the river that have different water where fresh water and salt is never mixed horrendous world when found.
Now there is a river that has long been a legend in Peru, but only this time successfully recovered. The river became a legend because of its uniqueness, which is very hot and boiling.
Though the river is located in the heart of the Amazon is far from an active volcano. This makes a geoscientist, Andrés Ruzo think such a phenomenon that could not happen.
He believes that, to boil the river needs at least a large number of geothermal. While in the Amazon basin is far from an active volcano.
But then, Ruzo see for yourself rivers boil and the heat that has become a legend with his own eyes.
Ruzo first heard about the river Mayantuyacu, when his grandfather telling a story, about how the Spanish conquistadors killed the last Inca emperor.
The story goes that after the murder, making Spain the conqueror heading to the Amazon rain forest in search of gold.
When they came back, people were talking about the harrowing experience involving toxic water, man-eating snakes and a river that flows from the bottom.
Twelve years later, at a family dinner, Ruzo hear the river again mentioned again, when his aunt said that she had visited the legendary river.
As a PhD student in geophysics at Southern Methodist University, Ruzo wants to find the river for himself.
"I started to ask the question. Can boiling river? I asked colleagues from universities, government companies, oil, gas and mining, and the answer is no," said Ruzo we quoted from MailOnline.
Tell the same story during a family dinner, then her aunt tells Ruzo, if he had been swimming in the river.
Although skeptical, Ruzo then walk into the forest in 2011, guided by his aunt, he's far from the nearest volcanic center.
He said he was mentally prepared to see the flow of the legendary river of the Amazon - but what he saw was very different.
Boiling river.
Then Ruzo found the river along a four-mile 'boil' in geothermal sites sacred healing of the Asháninka in Mayantuyacu.
The river has a width of 25 meters, and in about six meters. The water is hot enough to brew tea, according to a report on Gizmodo, and in some parts extremely boil.
"Dipping my hand into the river will give third-degree burns in less than half a second. And if a fall could kill him," said Ruzo to Ted.com.
The heat of this river because there is a gap, which is caused by the 'leakage' of underground streams. Now, Ruzo tried to save this boiling river.
Where the surrounding forest have been destroyed by logging practices, and the government does not take decisive action, and if left unchecked then this area could disappear entirely.
