HIERVE EL AGUA | PETRIFIED STONE WATERFALL OF OAXACA MEXICO

Hierve el Agua, AKA the Petrified Waterfall of Oaxaca, Mexico, is a very strange place to visit. Located about a 90 minute drive from Oaxaca City, this natural wonder is one of the top things to see in Mexico. This adventure kicked off a giant roadtrip with some YouTuber friends of mine. Backpacker Steve, Brendan van Son, Jodie Dewberry, and I jumped in a rental car and drove through Oaxaca to Chiapas in search of waterfalls in Mexico. This particular Mexican Waterfall was very special This wonder of nature was high on our list. We arrived early on a Monday morning in the offseason (December), and barely saw anybody until midday. Although appearing similar to a hot spring, the water is actually cold. The bubbling of the water comes from trapped gasses under the ground that bubble up with the mineral rich groundwater. This process is why the location is named The Water Boils in Spanish, even though it not actually boiling. From a distance, these giant rock formations look like cascading waterfalls frozen in time. In photos, it s actually not apparent that it isn t water. There are several of these giant petrified waterfalls at the location, and walking trails connecting them all together. ----------------------------------------­­­--------------------------------------­-­-­--------------- ϟ LINKS TO GEAR HERE ϟ Cameras Sony a7s Cameras: http://geni.us/MyCamera Sony RX100 V: http://geni.us/SonyRX1005 GoPro Hero 5: http://geni.us/GPHero5 My Flying Camera: http://geni.us/MavicFlyMore Lenses Sony 16-35mm f/4 : http://geni.us/Sony1635mm Sony 90mm f/2.8 http://geni.us/Sony90mm Sony 55mm f/1.8: http://geni.us/Sony55mm Rokinon 24mm f/1.4: http://geni.us/Rokinon24mm Canon 70-300mm: http://geni.us/CanonZoomLens Phone Fisheye + Macro Lenses: https://pixter.fr/#IN42 Camera Accessories CPOL for Sony 16-35mm: http://geni.us/TiffenCPOL1 Variable ND for Sony 16-35mm: http://geni.us/TiffenVarND RODE Videomic Pro: http://geni.us/RODEMic RODE Dead Cat: http://geni.us/DeadCatVMP My SD Cards: http://geni.us/SanDiskPRO Zhinyu Crane Gimbal: http://geni.us/NewGimbal PEAK Camera Clips: http://geni.us/PDClip PEAK Lens Switching: http://geni.us/PDLensKit PEAK Camera Strap: http://geni.us/PDStrap PEAK Keeping Safe on Rainy Days: http://geni.us/PDRainShell 3 Legged Thing Tripod: http://geni.us/Tripod Get a discount from PEAK DESIGN with my link: https://www.peakdesign.com?acc=721 Other Accessories Travel Tea Mug: http://geni.us/TravelTea Powerbank: http://geni.us/AnkerPowerbank ----------------------------------------­­­--------------------------------------­-­-­--------------- ♥ Friends ♥ Steve: https://www.youtube.com/user/BackPackerOrg Brendan: https://www.youtube.com/brendanvanson Jodie: https://www.youtube.com/user/alajode ----------------------------------------­­­--------------------------------------­-­-­--------------- ♫ Music ♫ "Save Me" - Diplodocus "Focus" - OGROD "Lazy" - OGROD "Water" - OGROD https://soundcloud.com/ogrodmusic "Funky Gringo" - Funkyfella https://soundcloud.com/funky_fella ----------------------------------------­­­--------------------------------------­-­-­--------------- ☎ Say Hi Here ☎ ✧ Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/kickthegrind ✧ Tweetz: http://www.twitter.com/KickTheGrind ✧ Facebook Fanpage: http://www.facebook.com/KicktheGrindTV ----------------------------------------­­­--------------------------------------­-­-­--------------- ✯ Experiences over Possessions ✯ Kick the Grind ✯ ----------------------------------------­­­--------------------------------------­-­-­---------------
