Caldas Novas Thermal Complex

Caldas Novas is Brazil's most famous thermal resort city, located in Goiás State on the Cerrado plateau, where the world's largest volume of naturally hot water flows from artesian springs at temperatures between 37°C and 51°C. The warm bicarbonate waters, commercially developed since the 1970s, today supply hundreds of hotel pools, water parks, and spa facilities that attract millions of Brazilian holiday-makers each year seeking relaxation and thermal immersion. The city's thermal infrastructure is unmatched in South America, with outdoor pools, lazy rivers, and hydrotherapy circuits making it particularly popular with families. Caldas Novas represents a uniquely Brazilian approach to thermal tourism where leisure, scale, and naturally warm water combine to create one of the continent's great aquatic resort destinations.
