Aguas Calientes

Aguas Calientes - Bolivia

This small village is well known to the locals for the Aguas Calientes River, whose water is almost 40 degrees Celsius at its source.

The water temperature would be ideal for a long swim, but as the air temperature in this part of Bolivia is around 30 degrees Celsius, you can't stay in it for long, as your body quickly overheats...
