A mysterious, four-mile long river deep in the heart of the
Amazon is so hot that it boils. The river has long been a legend in Peru, and
when geoscientist Andrés Ruzo’s heard about it, he thought such a phenomenon
was impossible. It would require a huge amount of geothermal heat to boil a
river, and the Amazon far from any active volcanoes.

But Ruzo is on a mission to change that.
He has published a book, ‘The Boiling River: Adventure and
Discovery in the Amazon,’ that publicises the river for the first time. It also
explains how the hot springs cause the river to boil, but then that’s his own
understanding. What will he say about the red sea? There are some things God
created, and only Him knows why. More photos below.
