00:00Deep in the Peruvian Amazon lies a river so hot that anything that falls into it boils alive.
00:09The water is hot enough to cause catastrophic burns in seconds.
00:14Known as Chane Timpisca, this river stretches for miles through the jungle.
00:20Some sections reach around 200 degrees Fahrenheit, close to the boiling point of water.
00:26But here's the strangest part.
00:29There's no active volcano nearby to explain it.
00:32Scientists believe deep underground, heated water travels through fractures in Earth's crust before emerging into the river.
00:40For local indigenous traditions, this mysterious river is associated with a powerful serpent spirit.
