Chile promotes nudism-naturism tourism; holds regional conference in 2012
The nudism and naturism movement in Chile will soon be in the international spotlight, as the country was recently named headquarters for the Latin American Nudism-Naturism Conference, scheduled for March 2012.
“This nomination allows us to promote Chile as a destination for the tourism business, just as we have focused campaigns in Latin America and Europe,” said Carolina Bugmann, head of the Chile Convention Bureau, which is part of the private business Turismo Chile.
Over 5,000 people have registered with Chile’s Nudism-Naturism Association, headquartered in the Luna beach area near Valparaíso.
“The development of international tourism meetings also brings other benefits, as promotional efforts have a multiplying effect and generate jobs and businesses, on top of additional spending by tourists,” Bugmann said.
The Latin American Nudism-Naturism Conference will feature various trekking and hiking competitions, in addition to more typically passive activities like beach-going. Organizers are currently looking to attract businesses to sponsor the event.
“We have a lot of work to do for the summit, because we’re interested in every type of request so that Chile remains on a good foot,” explained René Rojas, who has been president of the Chilean Nudism-Naturism Association for the last 12 years.
According to Rojas there is no single type of person who is interested in the nudism and naturism movement. Professionals and large families alike are equally prone to participation, but what counts most is a desire to connect more closely with nature
If truth be told... at the sake of revealing close-held personal history
g~ (during his formative university years) was a pioneer of Wreck Beach.
Indeed... quite proud to be one of the very first naturists at this world-class location.
May it serve as a model of what is possible - in close proximity to urban areas.

g~j most fervently wish...
May there be, some fine day soon...
An exponential increase in the membership of the Chile’s Nudism-Naturism Association.
btw... g~j have never been to this "Luna Beach"... is it any good?
ago when hubby and I were at Foz de Iguazu with a friend we wandered down a path, heard some voices ahead of us. Walking along the path a little further was a small waterfall with a pool of water. 2 of the palest skinniest men I have ever seen had just finished getting their kit off and were about to get into the water. The absolute whiteness of their skin was almost like snow. I was so shocked/unprepared for all that pasty skin I couldn't look away, mezmerized by it all
