Caxambu, Administrative division in Minas Gerais, Brazil
Caxambu extends over 100 square kilometers at an elevation of 895 meters, featuring twelve mineral water springs in southeastern Minas Gerais state.
The region gained prominence during Brazil's 18th-century gold rush period before transforming into a recognized spa destination in the 19th century.
Local traditions merge with health tourism through festivals, events, and activities centered around the mineral waters that define the municipality's identity.
The municipality connects to major cities through regular bus services and maintains a network of accommodation facilities near its mineral water sources.
The area contains a rare cold-water geyser among its twelve mineral springs, which flow continuously throughout the year regardless of seasonal changes.
