What to know before you go.
The local experience
A protected area over the aquifer that feeds the region's thermal waters, with guided trails to waterfalls and viewpoints. It is the natural counterpoint to the water parks.
Discover Parque Estadual da Serra de Caldas Novas
A complex of thermal pools in the middle of the forest, with artificial waterfalls and a calmer atmosphere than the big parks. Good if you want to relax without the crowds.
Discover Lagoa Quente de Pirapitinga
A park with a lazy river, water slides of various levels and a stage for shows, with thermal water.
A complex on the shore of Lago de Corumbá that combines a wave pool, a cascade and sand courts. It works well as a full-day outing.
A traditional park in town, also called Lagoa Quente, with pools at different temperatures and leisure facilities.
A space with ponds, red bridges, sculptures and an old house in the middle of the Goiás landscape. A short, photogenic outing for the late afternoon.
A hot-water theme park with pirate ship and volcano sets, designed for children.
