Mythical Boiling River Is Found In The Depths Of The Amazon Jungle

When Andres Ruzo was a little boy and lived in Peru, his grandfather told the story with a strange detail: in the jungles of the Amazon is a river, which boils like underneath burning flame. Twelve years later, after studying at the geologist, Ruzo discovered this boiling river.

When Andres Ruzo grew up in Lima, his grandfather tell the legend of how the Spaniards conquered Peru. Atahualpa, ruler of the Inca Empire, was captured and killed. Pizarro and his conquistadors got rich, and the story of their conquest and glory reached Spain and brought new waves of Spaniards, greedy for gold and glory. They came to the city and began to ask the Incas: "Where else civilization, which can be won? Where to find more gold "of the Incas, to take revenge, they said," Go into the valley of the Amazon. There you will find the gold that is looking for. There is a city called paititi - El Dorado, the Golden City in Spanish -. It is all of gold "

The Spaniards set off into the jungle, and the few who have returned, bringing with them stories of powerful shamans, the soldiers with poisoned arrows, the trees, so high that they obscured the sun, about spiders who ate the birds, of snakes that swallow people whole, and on the river which was in full swing. When Andres grew up, he went into the jungle of the Amazon in search of the boiling river. And, to his surprise, he found it.

The average temperature was 86 ° C in it. This, of course, is not quite boiling at 100 ° C, but, of course, very close to it. During the research it was found out that the river begins the cold. Then heated, cooled, heated again, cooled, reheated, then cooled to bend until it is cold. His heat it retains over 6.24 kilometers. The distance to the nearest volcano is about 700 kilometers.
