Before the 20th-century, the location was only known by adventurers who crossed the woods searching for gold. Having contracted diseases during their journeys, these adventurers found the cure in the warm waters that flowed from the mountains.

In 1909, an Italian doctor, Francisco Tozzi, learned from his own father, Henrique Tozzi, about the medicinal properties of the springs. Dr Francisco Tozzi lived in Serra Negra, and ended up buying the region auctioned by the government, making the property a public space.

165 km from São Paulo City, Águas de Lindoia offers the hot springs, adventure sports, and agritourism. Its economy is based on tourism.
