The local experience
Created in the late 1920s by Henry Ford's company to produce rubber, the village was abandoned by the company in 1945, after the rubber plantations failed. Still inhabited, it preserves American-style houses and industrial structures on the banks of the Tapajós River.
About 50 meters tall, the water tower was made in Michigan and shipped to the village, becoming the symbol of Henry Ford's old project. Around it, the sawmill and the three-story workshop building are still standing.
