The hot springs are powered by rain that seeps into the volcanic rock deep underground and is heated by the Earth's internal geothermal energy.
Approximately 6.5 million liters of water flow through the pools every hour due to the natural resurgence of the springs.
The water in the park is slightly radioactive, which is historically associated with therapeutic mineral properties.
The pools operate on a constant-flow system where the water is neither recirculated nor chemically treated with standard pool chlorine levels.
The temperature remains consistent regardless of external weather conditions, providing a stable bathing environment at all times.
Parque das Fontes is a geothermal water park within the Rio Quente Resorts complex, featuring eight natural hot spring pools. The facility is fed by naturally heated volcanic waters that maintain a temperature of approximately 37.5°C year-round. The park is integrated into a lush tropical landscape, utilizing the natural flow of the Rio Quente river. Guests have access to diverse pool styles, including shallow areas for children and deeper sections with hydro-massage features. The water volume in the park undergoes complete renewal every 20 minutes through constant natural circulation. It is located in the municipality of Rio Quente, Goiás, which contains one of the world's largest hot spring complexes.

Bring non-slip waterproof footwear, as the stone paths and deck areas can be slippery when wet.
Pack a high-quality dry bag for your camera or phone to protect electronics from the high ambient humidity near the hot pools.
Hydrate frequently, as the constant heat from the mineral water can lead to faster dehydration than typical ambient swimming temperatures.
Do not stay in the hottest pools for more than 20 minutes at a time to prevent overheating or dizziness.
Open daily year-round; the park maintains 24-hour access for guests staying within the specific resort hotels.
Swimwear is required at all times; guests are expected to shower before entering the pools to maintain water purity.
