Thermas Hot World Tours

Home to heated and freshwater pools fed by natural springs, Thermas Hot World is one of the most popular resorts along Brazil’s Circuito das Águasa, a series of towns renowned for their mineral-enriched waters. Half spa, half water park, the complex offers everything from super-fast water slides to relaxing hot tubs.

The Basics
Admission tickets to Thermas Hot World grant you full-day access to the park; relax in the giant hot tub or swim beneath an artificial waterfall. Kids can let off steam on the water slides and in the water play areas, which include a castle, pirate ship, and whale slide. There’s also a dedicated area for babies and younger kids, and an Adventure Zone with a climbing wall and treetop obstacle course.
