    Hierve el Agua

    Boerve el Agua is one of the most amazing and photographed natural phenomena in Oaxaca. Contrary to what its appearance suggests, the impressive white and hanging structures are not moving waterfalls, but petrified waterfalls. These formations were created over thousands of years by the run-off of water high in calcium carbonate and other minerals that, as they fell and dried, left these imposing "salt mantles" or calcareous tuff. The name "Boil the Water" is a bit misleading, as, while the water gushes at the top, it is not boiling; the temperature is pleasant and it is kept at room temperature (around 24oC). At the top of the formations, you’ll find small water sources, known as natural pools, where you can enjoy a swim while taking in the spectacular landscape that stretches across the valley.
