We all no the popular saying that water does have any enemy, but this particular river will kill anything that enters into. It is called the boiling river, found in the Amazon, it is said to hold a powerful Amazonian water spirit.
The river is located in the Peruvian Amazon, the boiling river maintains it's high temperature despite not being close to any active volcano or geothermal vent, which normally provide geothermal heating underground water.

Water doesn't have enemy, I think is not a right statement, when someone who can't swim fall into a sea or a river can not come out alive, so which of the friendship did water have with human, when you Rush to drink water it can chock you, and anything can happen, water doesn't talk but it kills, when you misuse it.
