one of the most unique phenomena in nature..

Pamukale, meaning "cotton castle" in Turkish, is a natural site in Denizli Province in southwestern Turkey. The great attraction is the white immensity of the cliff with sculptured basins full of water and congealed waterfalls, that seem made out of cotton.
The water sources have a temperature of 35 degrees Celsius (90 degrees Fahrenheit) and have proven positive effects on heart disease, arthritis, hypertension and kidney disease. It is a protected landscape that fascinates, as the action of the mineral waters that contains calcium oxides leaves fantastic marks on the structures. The resultant effect is spectacular: the waters spill on a series of steps, forming solid cascades and pools. As much the cascades of calcium carbonate, as the water itself, change color in accordance with changes of the solar light that illuminates them, and the effect is surprising. The spectacle is flaring.
