Soft water — natural, classic buoyancy.
In São Leopoldo, a city of history founded by the first German immigrants to Brazil in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, the Balneário Tunel do Tempo draws on the mild thermal waters of the Guarani Aquifer — one of the world's largest underground freshwater reserves — to offer a family-oriented balneario park with a warm, carefree atmosphere.
The thermal water, at around 36 °C, radiates a pleasant, welcoming warmth typical of Guarani waters, whose light mineralisation suits all skin types. Water slides, recreational pools, and relaxation areas coexist in the spirit of the Brazilian balneário — a place of collective pleasure as much as personal renewal.
The name 'Tunel do Tempo' — Time Tunnel — evokes the playful, retro aesthetic that made Brazil's great aquatic parks of the 1980s and 1990s so beloved. Coming here means joining a tradition of popular, convivial leisure that is an integral part of the culture of Rio Grande do Sul, a region of German heritage and proud gaúcho identity.
