Have you ever imagined visiting a city whose main wealth is water? This city exists. It is located in the interior of São Paulo and is called Lindóia.

Known as the Capital of Mineral Water, Lindóia accounts for 40% of the national supply. It is one of the cities that make up the Circuit of Paulista Waters and holds the title of Hydromineral Resort. This means that its economy and tourism are strongly linked to the presence of water.

In addition to providing the most essential liquid for life, Lindóia is surrounded by beautiful waterfalls. The city invests in attractions that highlight this natural resource.

The city is not known only in Brazil. According to the portal Diário do Litoral, there are records that the water from Lindóia was used in the Apollo 11 mission.

This was the mission that took man to the Moon in 1969. The phrase “A small step for a man, but a giant leap for mankind” was said on that occasion by astronaut Neil Armstrong.

According to the company Lindóia Verão, documents show that 100 bottles of the local water were purchased and sent by plane that same year. However, there is no precise information about the final destination of this shipment.

Another curious fact involves scientist Marie Curie. In 1926, she visited the city and confirmed that the water from Lindóia had therapeutic properties.

The city is about 156 kilometers from the São Paulo capital, according to Wikipedia. By car, the journey takes approximately 5 and a half hours via BR-369, according to Google Maps.

Despite its national importance, Lindóia has just over 7,000 residents, according to the latest IBGE Census. A small municipality, but with a giant role in the distribution of mineral water in the country.
