In addition to the water park: the Barretos resort for all ages Credit: Disclosure. Ask someone who has visited Barretos Country what is there and the answer almost always starts with the water. The slides and the wave pool have become the business card of the complex, in Barretos (SP), and it is no coincidence: it is what appears in the photos and conversations of those returning from trips. What usually escapes this first image is everything else. Between one descent and another, the complex brings together a green area, contact with animals, monitored recreation and a variety of food that changes function depending on the age of those who arrive. It's worth browsing the map calmly. Hot water without relying on heat The basis of the aquatic experience is naturally hot thermal waters. They allow you to enter the water even when the outside temperature drops, which changes trip planning: the park is no longer an exclusive summer program. The wave pool attracts those who want movement without a lot of adrenaline and works well for large groups, who stay together in the same area. The slides are available for different ages and levels of courage, from gentle descents for little ones to faster ones. With new equipment recently opened, the water park has even more fun options for children, young people and adults. The farm is free to visit. Far from the water is the second territory of the complex. The farm is open to visitors and there are buffalo baths, cow milking and animal feeding, activities in which the visitor participates, not just watches. For children raised in a big city, this is usually their first encounter with a large animal off-screen. For adults who came from the countryside, it's a reunion! All-day recreation The recreation team follows the program throughout the day, with monitored activities. In practice, this is what allows adults to sit down, eat leisurely or simply rest while the children remain busy in a supervised environment. Each age finds its own Small children have the shallow areas, the farm and the recreation area. Older children divide the day between medium-sized slides and games led by monitors. Teenagers look for the fastest descents and the wave pool, and move independently within an enclosed space. Adults usually alternate water, shade, bars and the variety of food distributed throughout the complex. Grandparents are the audience for the green area and the slow pace: walking, shade, late afternoon and the company of their grandchildren between one attraction and another. Service Barretos Country is located at the entrance to Barretos (SP), about 10 minutes from Parque do Peão.
