Hierve el Agua is made up of a series of petrified waterfalls that are characterized by their white color and their immensity (they measure more than 200 meters high). They were formed millions of years ago by carbonated water runoff, whose current originates from the springs that are at the top of the ravine. In turn, these springs create a unique spectacle: they are pools of warm, turquoise water that are used as natural spas.
