Balneário Pôr do Sol lies near Russas, in Ceará state, Brazil. Its sodium-chloride thermal water reaches about 37°C and feeds indoor pools, with massage and sauna on site.
Insider tip — Positioned in the lower Jaguaribe Valley of eastern Ceara, this sunset-named balneario (Por do Sol means sunset) offers thermal bathing against a backdrop of riverside carnauba palm stands and the semi-arid Inhamuns landscape. The warm artesian water feeds pools that glow amber in the late afternoon light that gives the establishment its poetic name. The Jaguaribe River nearby is a lifeline for the surrounding agricultural communities, and the balneario serves as a social hub across the municipality. Arrive in the late afternoon to watch the dramatic Ceara sunset while soaking.
