Destinations: Argentina and Uruguay

Brazil is better known for hedonistic tendencies, but it's not the only country in South America that has possibilities for vacationing naturists. Argentina and Uruguay both have a few venues to offer.
Let's start with Uruguay: A small Spanish-speaking country sandwiched between Argentina and Brazil, it's best known for Punta del Este, the resort city fronting on the Atlantic, which has gained a worldwide reputation for being a party center. Not surprisingly, among its many beaches, it has an officially nudist one: Playa Chihuahua. Nudist Day hasn't been to this beach, but it's on the to-do list. If the photos are any indication, it's a winner, despite the proximity of the Punta del Este airport.

Argentina also has just one legal nude beach, Playa Escondida (Hidden beach), located south of Mar del Plata. The official website is at 
http://www.playaescondida.com.ar/, but again it's only in Spanish. The country also boasts several rustic landed clubs, mostly located around Buenos Aires, the capital, and one particularly large [in acres] club near Cordoba [Yatan Rumi] that will surely please nature buffs [pun intended].
Buenos Aires is a huge, cosmopolitan city, and therefore boasts some avant-garde events, such as nude Yoga classes [

Note that both countries are located in the southern hemisphere, so the seasons are reversed. To get there during their summer, plan to visit from December through March.
