Fervedouro do Soninho, Natural spring in Mateiros, Brazil
The spring creates a natural pool where underground water pressure prevents swimmers from sinking, generating a continuous floating experience in transparent waters.
Indigenous communities in the Jalapao region have preserved and utilized these natural springs sustainably for many generations before tourism development.
Local guides share knowledge about the spring's mineral-rich waters and their connection to traditional practices of the Jalapao communities.
The spring maintains four internal sources, reducing waiting times for visitors while ensuring controlled access through designated wooden walkways.
The intense pressure from underground water creates a natural phenomenon where sand mixes with water, making it impossible to submerge regardless of effort.
