This amazing river of boiling water is located in the heart of the Peruvian part of the Amazon. The city of Pukalpa is an hour's drive from Lima. It is one of the largest cities in Peru. It takes about two hours to reach the Pachita river from this city, and through this river one has to reach the much desired Boiling Water River. The first push by Andres Rouge to the river was the temperature of the river water. He thought it was hot water, but it was beyond his imagination that the river water would actually be so hot. He first tested the water temperature with a thermometer, which was about 200 degrees Fahrenheit; Which is not hot enough to boil, but enough to kill an animal.
Andres Rujo sees various small animals, such as frogs and snakes, floating in the river water. According to him, an animal tries to swim even after falling into the river water. But at first his eyes were damaged by the hot water, which caused him to be unable to see. Slowly the outer skin begins to boil, then hot water enters the internal organs of the body through the mouth. Almost all the internal organs including the liver and kidneys of the animal gradually become useless; Due to which he can no longer swim. Once powerless, the animal dies.
This heated river is only part of the river that flows through the Amazon jungle. The length of the whole river is about 9 km, but about 6.24 km of it is heated. Especially in the dry season it is so hot that it can kill any animal. Its temperature fluctuates between 26 and 94 degrees. The temperature of the river water reaches a tolerable level at that time of the year, when there is a lot of rainfall. The local people use the water of this river for making tea or other cooking.
