Nice but suffer from lack of maintenance. Quite small but can kill about 30 minutes.
The cantine at the entrance serve nice Coco's for drinking. Another place further down the parking lot sales hot corns and is packed with monkeys on its roof and surrounding trees.

They also say that, many years ago a young lady (daughter of a rich farmer) and a catholic priest fell in love to each other, and they hid at this place, which was quite secluded then. On the account of its limpid water fountain they chose that particular place in order to be able to live their impossible love. Although her father had searched everywhere, he never found his daughter alive again. One day, a hunter found their naked bodies, hug to each other at this very spot, so the rich farmer, quite moved, ordered a statue of a naked couple in order to remember his daughter and to celebrate love. The Italian sculptor Giulio Starace then did that in 1929. Besides that, a local poet, Alberto Oliveira, wrote a poem to honour love (even its hardships), and that goes something like that, if you allow me to try:"At this recanto, everything invites to love/ that love is life/then love, love/ whoever brougth so much beauty/the nature essence/ then make a pray, make a pray (and that goes on). It does not matter either if you are with your sweetheart, or all by yourself, that is definetly a place to go whenever you visit Poços, even if is just to enjoy the exuberance of this nature reserve.(The forementioned poem is writen on a bronze plaque, right on the foot of the statue). That worths a while to watch the YouTube Video "Descubra Poços de Caldas - Fonte dos Amores", and if you can watch also "WE ARE POÇOS, a YOUTUBE video inspired by the worldwide famous Pharrell's song "Happy" (they show the statue at the very end of this video).

One of the shopowners in the park speaks good English (former Alcoa employee) and will happily share his love of rocks. Make sure to ask to be pointed to the Cristo trail- it's not particularly well marked for those without a map, and there are quite a few trails in the area.

Quiet location with easy access and parking. Surrounded by a forest where children can feed monkeys and coatis (all loose). It has little trade for crafts and a bar.
Its the begin of the path to the Christ on the top of the hill. (1300m trail - not for older than 50 years old)

If you're in good company be sure to visit this source and meet the statue and the nature of local.Faziam 22 who did not visit the touristic sights of Pocos de Caldas and this still holds encando. The statue of the details of the couple in love are really cool.
Even with a dry year like 2014 in southeastern Brazil still water flows from the mountains of Santo Domingo and delights the place with their noise down the rocks. Has good place to park vehicles and easy access and cleaning. But we believe that the city could improve the appearance and maintenance of the site artezanato trade modernizing it and coaching staff for the variety of Brazil and foreign tourists (we found some).

Dá pra ir com crianças devido a trilha?

Visitar a Fonte dos Amores é tranquilo para adultos e crianças.
A dificuldade é percorrer a Trilha do Cristo, que dá acesso ao Morro do Cristo a partir da Fonte dos Amores.
Essa trilha eu não recomendo para crianças e nem para adultos sem preparo físico.

Por intermédio do Presidente de Minas Gerais, Antônio Carlos, foi contratado o famoso escultor italiano Giulio Starace, o qual também foi responsável por fazer o “Monumento de Minas ao Brasil”, para esculpir a principal obra do ponto turístico, a estátua de dois jovens abraçados, simbolizando o amor. Giullius Staracce em 1929 com sua obra prima – Coleção José Ranauro Brasão de Giulio Starace – Foto Pastina A estatua foi criada para simbolizar um casal de namorados, mas existe uma seguinte história sobre ela: “Há muitos anos dois jovens enamorados faziam do recanto o refúgio de um amor proibido, que os pais não admitiam. Um dia, inconformados com o destino infeliz, os jovens se amaram e depois se jogaram pela encosta. Os corpos foram encontrados, um junto do outro, entre as pedras.” Mas não se sabe há veracidade sobre isso, portanto podemos considerar que foi apenas uma lenda. Ao lado da estátua, temos duas placas com poema e um soneto de Alberto de Oliveira: “Neste recanto o amar tudo convida Que amor é vida, Amai!Amai! Mas, a quem pôs aqui tanta beleza A alma da natureza Uma oração mandai: Orai!Orai!” “A agua clara que vem da serra em giro vario, A alma de alguma freira em sua correnteza Talvez guarda, em murmurio eternamente réza. São-lhes os seixos que rola, as contas do rosario, Réza pelo irmão rio, em que lado e grandeza Andam juntos no desvairado itenerario, Réza porque se humilhe o cedro centenario, Sempre altivo, e se abrande as rochas a dureza. Réza por toda a flôr ou todo insecto enfermo. Não é cascata aquillo: é de joelhos no ermo Ella a rezar mais alto e mais solemne assim; Olha o seu longo véo. Toda é piedade e magua. Réza por todos nós, freira mudada em agua, Réza por mim. Alberto de Oliveira” Assim, a Fonte dos Amores estava completa, com quiosque, uma fonte que surgia ao centro e a estátua romantizando o local: Concretização e inauguração da Fonte dos Amores. Acervo Museu Histórico e Geográfico de Poços de Caldas Ponto Turístico A partir deste momento, diversas pessoas vieram para a cidade para tirar fotos na romântica Fonte dos Amores, como podemos ver nestes cartões postais de lembranças de famílias: E muitas fotos foram tiradas no local para cartões postais, que eram vendidas na Casa Havaneza e até hoje são encontradas em sites de leilões. Veja a seguir uma galeria de fotos deste lindo ponto turístico: Quiosque de pedra Visão da cidade pelo quiosque Plataforma de pedra Visão da cidade em 1930 pela Fonte dos Amores Visão da cidade Cartão Fonte dos Amores Cartão Fonte dos Amores Cartão Fonte dos Amores Monumento dos amantes Monumento dos amantes Monumento dos amantes Monumento dos amantes Monumento dos amantes Monumento dos amantes Monumento dos amantes Fonte dos Amores cartão colorido a mão Fonte dos Amores em 1970 Fonte dos Amores Atualmente Anos depois, o lugar teve um grande crescimento de árvores, a visão da cidade pela fonte já é quase impossível de se ter como antes. Mas graças a isso, acabou sendo um dos pontos principais para que as pessoas possam ter o contato com a natureza.

Nada disso está escrito lá na fonte. Nunca ouvi falar essa história. Invenção?
A fonte dos amores não está interditada devido casos de febre amarela?

Já foi liberada a entrada. Lá foi encontrado um macaco morto mas os testes laboratoriais para febre amarela deram negativos.
