by Spanish persons hundreds of years ago when they traveled deep into the rainforest in search of gold.20 years after he had heard this story，Ruzo’s aunt told him she had seen the river firsthand.Guided by her，the young scientist finally found the river himself，and confirmed that its waters do reach boiling temperatures.“Dipping my hand into the river would give me thirddegree burns in less than half a second.Falling in could easily kill me，”he wrote in his book The Boiling River：Adventure and Discovery in the Amazon.Ruzo said，“What was amazing is that the locals had always known about this place，and that I was by no means the first outsider to see it.It is just a part of their everyday life.They cook with it，clean with it，even make their medicines with it.”But so far，no one has been able to explain the mystery of the boiling water.“It is a reminder that there are still great wonders to be discovered，”Ruzo said.“The biggest part of the Boiling River area remains wild and
