Fourth day Where there is a date, there is always magic! Fordlandia does its part here.

We will do the ******** City tour of Fordlandia getting to know the city, including what emerged after the aforementioned episodes, visiting the remains of Henry Ford’s presence in the Amazon, including the unmistakable steel water tank that stands out about the village and that guaranteed the water supply of the old residents. The huge ruined shed, inside which we find machinery and even trucks from the 1930s Ford Motor Company, is another beautiful history lesson on the spot. We will also pass through a mall along which some of the original homes of the Americans of that time still stand, in addition to other warehouses used for storing the syringe and which are currently subdivided into boxes and function as a kind of market. Fordlandia is a place to be visited by the historical context, to try to feel in the skin what this misadventure of Henry Ford was. His misfortune that became our adventure!
