It had been almost three years since our last visit to Yatan Rumi, arguably the largest naturist club in the world, but return we did, just in time for its seventh anniversary. Not much has changed on this 1500 hectare rocky outcrop in the pre-Andean mountains of Cordoba Province in western Argentina, and that’s probably [...]
