The Boiling River, located in the Amazon rainforest of Peru, is actually formed by two separate tributaries (streams or rivers) coming together and creating the turbulent mix of hot and cold waters. The Boiling River is believed to be around 4 miles long and over 20 feet deep in some places. The Boiling River is home to several endangered species of wildlife, including giant river otters, manatees, and turtles.
