Hierve el Agua - Frozen Water






Well not really frozen but they are white from all the minerals in the water. They also call it boiling water but really it is carbon dioxide - soda water. This must be the original infinity pool. Photos of the site were first published to the outside world in 1989 and the photographer took them while on a remote mule trek in the mountains searching for remote native culture. It is still quite remote. The ride to the site was up about 4000feet and then over a ridge and down about 3000 feet all on a one lane gravel road. On parts of it I was thinking of possible headlines in Canadian papers - Ok just kidding - barely. We met some very nice people on this tour and hope to tell you more of them sometime in the future.

Looks soooo relaxing, we just finished shovelling out of yet another snow storm(this time with lots of freezing rain) maybe similiar to the freezing waters of these pictures (not)
