Río Hirviente Mayantuyacu

Boiling River Mayantuyacu

There is a legend that a snake called Yacumama was in charge of taking care of the Mayantuyacu River, and to protect them, he decided to place a large steam over the waters. And it is that this enigmatic river is a beautiful place that serves as a natural sanctuary since its thermal waters promote a better state of health.

All around the place is endowed with impressive plants that can only be found in that place, in addition to a warm, calm and relaxing atmosphere. The mysterious river is 25 meters wide and 6 meters deep, making its waters impressive to the sight of tourists.

However, the biggest question of that place is the reason that generates the steam from the water, since there are no volcanoes nearby.

To give life to the journey you can practice a series of activities that help to obtain more vitality, such as a long walk around this fascinating place. As well as participating in a healing ceremony carried out by the local shamans.

It is a wonderful and fascinating place that directly benefits health, since it offers a 100% natural environment, in addition to all the beauty that borders the area.
