Cuatro Ciénegas, Mexico
The water of the Cuatro Ciénegas ponds maintains similar conditions to those of the late Pre Cambrian (the time when life originated on planet earth), which makes this place a window to the past, as they are inhabited by stromatolites, which are direct descendants of those who invented photosynthesis 3.5 billion years ago.
