Itinerary
Selvagem Tours spent months visiting all locations between Alter do Chao and Fordlandia, making a thorough survey to personalize this exclusive tour, in order to involve this story with the best of these locations.
First day
We will sail southwards, going up the Tapajos River, at a pleasant cruise speed admiring the Muretá Lake and Beach, enjoying the Jurucuri Lake and learning about the historic Pindobal beach, enjoying the beautiful beaches of Cajutuba, Aramanaí , Santo Domingo and Maguari, with our first stop at the charming stream of crystalline waters of FLONA – Jamaraqua, where we will have a delicious picnic of fresh fruits with watermelon, pineapple, banana, passion fruit, orange, apple and coconut.
We will walk to a diverse local craft store, where you will be able to buy rubber artifacts produced by the natives at very affordable prices.
We will do the famous *** Jamaraquá trail, with local guides, walking 7 km, in a period between 3 or 4 hours, visiting the immense Samaúma tree, observing the Tapajos River from a viewpoint and an explanation of the region’s fauna and flora. Or else we will do a 3 km trail, lasting 1 hour and a half, just walking through the forest.

Fordlandia Third day
Fordlandia Fourth day
Where there is a date, there is always magic! Fordlandia does its part here. You already have the important mission of functioning as a time machine, bringing bright colors to structures that defy time and keep the history of thousands of people within them. 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 former residents.
The huge ruined shed, inside which we found 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 houses of the Americans of that time still stand, in addition to other warehouses used for storing the syringe and which, currently, are subdivided into boxes and function as a kind of market. Fordlandia is a place to be visited by the historical context, in order to try to feel in the skin what this misadventure of Henry Ford was. His misfortune that turned into an adventure of ours!
