Thermal waters, family resorts and Cerrado nature create Brazil’s strongest hot-springs travel region.
Why this place
Caldas Novas and Rio Quente form Goiás’s Região das Águas Quentes, built around naturally warm waters, water parks and a large accommodation base. The region is more varied than the resort image suggests: Parque Estadual da Serra de Caldas adds Cerrado trails, viewpoints and waterfalls.
A place should not be reduced to one hero image. These views show different parts of the experience and landscape.
Naturally warm water shapes the pool and resort experience around Caldas Novas and Rio Quente.

Plan Brazil
Use these rounded door-to-door estimates to judge the travel day. Confirm the actual service and departure time before booking.
Choose the resort or town first: accommodation in Caldas Novas does not by itself include Rio Quente access. Compare addresses and the exact admission included.
These are selected options for your next stop. Confirm operating days, connections and total travel time for your dates.
