Rio Quente, Thermal springs municipality in Goiás, Brazil
Rio Quente encompasses 256 square kilometers of territory at 663 meters elevation, featuring natural hot springs and thermal pools throughout the region.
The thermal waters of Rio Quente were discovered in 1722 by explorer Bartolomeu Bueno da Silva before the area separated from Caldas Novas in 1989.
The Encontro de Folia das Águas Quentes festival brings together local residents to celebrate traditional customs through music, dance, and regional cuisine.
The municipality maintains multiple accommodation options near the thermal waters, with direct access from Goiânia through a 178-kilometer route south.
The Ribeirão das Aguas Quentes flows through Rio Quente as the sole naturally heated river with rapids in the Americas.
