Vale do Amanhecer
Vale do Amanhecer Review
If you're interested in the mystical, occult, and esoteric, Brasilía is the place to be. Valley of the Dawn was one of the first of the city's so-called cult communities, and is well prepared to receive visitors. The ellliptical temple at the center of the compound is one of the attractions. The religious community was founded in 1969 by Neiva Zelay, a onetime truck driver who reportedly had extrasensory powers. About 20,000 people live here.
