About Hierve el Agua

Hierve el Agua (Spanish for "the water boils") consists of several natural rock formations that resemble cascades of water due to the accumulation of minerals deposited by spring water that has flowed down the rocks over thousands of years. It is one of only a few calcified waterfalls in the world. Due to ongoing land disputes between the government and indigenous locals, the site is occasionally closed for extended periods of time. It is therefore wise to check its status with local sources (hotels, tour operators) prior to undertaking your excursion.
