THE HOT RIVER
When Andrés Ruzo was a boy, he lived in Lima, Peru. There, his
grandfather told him a fascinating story about a very hot river in
Mayantuyacu, in the Peruvian Amazon. People died in the river
because the water was so hot.
Later, Andrés went to Texas, in the US. He studied science, and
he did a project on energy under the Earth. He remembered his
grandfather’s story, so he asked his professors about hot rivers.
According to them, you can only find hot rivers near volcanoes.
The nearest volcano to Mayantuyacu is 700 km away.
Then, in 2011, on a trip home to Peru, Andrés’ aunt took him
into the forest. There, he discovered something amazing –
a river with water between 80°C and 100°C. After his discovery,
Andrés often visited the 6.4-kilometre river. He saw local people
cooking in the river. According to his aunt, you can swim there,
but only after heavy rain. This is because the rain water cools the
river water.
So how is this river possible? Rain water from the Andes
Mountains slowly enters the Earth. It flows under the ground for
many kilometres, collecting hot energy. Finally, it comes out of
the ground in the Amazon, creating a 25-metre-wide hot river.
But today, the river and the area of Mayantuyacu are in danger.
People are cutting down the trees and the government is building
roads. Sadly, because of this, the river will probably become dirty
and the forest, with its mysteries, will soon disappear.
disappear.

p ..... a Andrés went to Texas.

..... b Andrés’ aunt took him into the forest.
