Shanai Timpishka, mystery of the boiling river

  • Shanai Timpishka boiling river
It is not very sure why this water is boiling
 

The Amazon rainforest is rife with all sorts of flora and fauna... and a boiling river? Shanai-Timpishka, also known as La Bomba has been translated as "boiled with the heat of the sun" and it is a tributary of the Peruvian Amazon. It isn't volcanic, however. Deep in the jungle, the river boils temperatures of almost up to 100°C, due to not very clear reasons.
