Fonte Termal Progresso — 'Progress Thermal Spring' — is a mineral spring establishment in Brazil whose name reflects the early twentieth-century Brazilian spirit of development and modernization that framed thermal spring resources as engines of regional progress and community well-being in the interior states. Brazil's mineral and thermal spring towns, designated estâncias termais or hidrominerais, often bear optimistic names that associate geothermal wealth with community advancement, and many grew into significant health and leisure tourism destinations during the Vargas era and subsequent decades of Brazilian development. The thermal spring offers mineral-rich waters in the Brazilian balneotherapy tradition rooted in the abundant geothermal and hydrothermal resources of the Precambrian and sedimentary Brazilian basement.
