Balneário Quinti, in Itatinga, São Paulo, features bicarbonate thermal water at 36°C. Indoor pools, massage and a sauna make up this Brazilian wellness stop.
Insider tip — Balneario Quinti is located near Itatinga in the interior of Sao Paulo state, in the highlands of southeastern Brazil at around 750 m elevation on the ancient Parana Basin plateau. The thermal waters here rise from deep artesian wells tapping the Guarani Aquifer, one of the world's largest underground freshwater systems, which is naturally warmed by the geothermal gradient through thick Triassic-Jurassic basalt layers. The surrounding Atlantic Forest remnants and quiet inland town give this balneario a peaceful, non-commercial character popular with local families.
