Veil Cordeiro city in the south of Brazil took the myth of the Amazons a little too literally. Now they invite male visitors first.
The city only for women, home to about 600 people, is pretty revolutionary idea. Although some of these women are married, their husbands and children living elsewhere during the work week. Men follow the rules of their wives and only return on weekends.
Women manage all aspects of the city, including its agricultural system.
Residents say the city only drawback is the difficulty of finding a boyfriend or husband. They are interested to invite people to the city, but only if they understand the guidelines and lifestyle.
Maria Lima Senhorinha small town founded in 1891, after having been expelled from his village for alleged adultery.
