We are going to be taking the Arco Norte toll road around Mexico City and then head to Valle de Jaurez. Hope we will get to see you there.

These falls weren't caused by the hot water from the springs cooling and depositing the calcium carbonate and this is why they are so different. These falls are created the same way that stalactites in caves are formed excepted that the cool water is being pushed to the surface from underground pressure and then running/dripping down and leaving it's mineral content to form this amazing falls.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-23187205640706266352013-03-09T09:57:44.663-05:002013-03-09T09:57:44.663-05:00hello friends. if you like Toluca hope they pass t...hello friends. if you like Toluca hope they pass toward Juarez Valley.

The water wasn't warm enough for us to take a dip but it didn't stop a bunch of school kids from enjoying the water. They were having a great time.Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-40476554034420631562013-03-09T09:32:41.420-05:002013-03-09T09:32:41.420-05:00They sure dont do it justice.

Hierve el Agua is "not" a hot spring and was created totally from the mineral content in the water. The water "boils" because of pressure underground pushing the water to the surface which makes it look like it is boiling. Definitely a pretty neat sight!<br />Kevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-89194727968059869722013-03-08T18:44:24.479-05:002013-03-08T18:44:24.479-05:00Wow, Wow, Wow.
