About Parque das Águas
Parque das Águas is part of Caxambu’s urban centre and gathers mineral springs in pavilions of different styles. Gardens, woods and avenues shape the walking landscape, while the spa reflects the tradition of the resort town. The landscape and architectural ensemble is listed as heritage by the Estado de Minas Gerais.
The visit can be organised as a walk along the park’s paths, observing the vegetation and the pavilion architecture. Instead of searching for a single spring, allow time to perceive how the structures are distributed across the garden. The lake and the places to linger complete the outdoor experience.
The entrance is referenced on Avenida João Carlos, in the centre. Check which facilities and activities are available on your visit date, since a stroll through the garden and use of the spa are different programmes. The waters are part of the park’s identity, but the trip should not be planned as a substitute for medical care.
