— It’s beautiful, it’s big, there’s a lot of nature and many options for fun. People from all walks of life and communities come here. Here we are all naked, we are all the same — said Marcelo Pallini, the owner of the space.

Located in Moreno, the entrance is on Avenida General Savio, 5402. A sign with the name “El Paraíso” indicates the entrance. To access the property, you must follow a dirt road and cross a small wooded area which leads to the main entrance.

Roxana and César, a retired couple from Concordia, traveled 450 kilometers specifically to visit the site.

— I have always been very introverted. But I got here, took off my clothes and talked to everyone. When I get dressed, it’s difficult. The first time I came, I didn’t speak to anyone. I met a man and we walked all day. Do you think we’re talking about sex? No, he was Jewish and I was Christian. He told me about his religion and I told him about mine. Naked, speaking of religion — Caesar explained.

The place welcomes visitors from all over the country – Mar del Plata, Córdoba and Rosário, among other destinations – as well as foreign tourists: Brazilians, Uruguayans and Europeans. Some come just to spend the afternoon; others stay for several days, weeks or even the entire season.

— We paid for the season and enjoyed it very much. We are happy here. In everyday life, clothes make a difference: who has expensive sneakers, who does not. Here we are all equal. There is no money involved, Roxana said.

For many years the place was known as El Palo Verde. According to the previous owner, the property was worth a million dollars, hence the name. The place was also marked by a scandal: an anonymous complaint for child trafficking. “No minor was ever there, but eventually the complaint was filed,” recalls Juan, who now runs the buffet with his girlfriend Susi. A few years later, the previous owner died and the property was abandoned.

Pallini decided to buy it soon after. He frequented the place and discovered it thanks to a recommendation in a swingers club.

— A girl from luggage storage, who came with her husband, told me about this place. It took me about a year to get there, because going to a swingers club at night is one thing, and going to a naturist resort in broad daylight is completely different — he explained.

Their goal today is to leave behind the bad reputation of the past and transform the property into a safe space open to the entire community.

Since its reopening two years ago, the station has undergone several renovations. It offers an all-day buffet, new accommodation and several leisure and relaxation areas. El Paraíso is open every day of the year, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Accommodation options are varied, allowing you to spend anywhere from an afternoon to several days on site. The most economical option is the tented area, priced at US$25,000 per night, plus entrance fees (ranging from US$30,000 to US$35,000 for couples and single men Monday to Friday, and Saturday and Sunday, respectively; and US$10,000 to US$15,000 for women). There are also five cabins, the most affordable accommodation at $35,000 per night including entrance fees. Hostel-style rooms are available for $100,000 per night and ten fully equipped apartments are offered for $150,000 per day. In the latter two cases, the entry price is included.

The venue can accommodate up to 1,200 people and occupancy is high on weekends.

— On weekends, there are more than 100 or 150 people camping, — observed Pallini.

Until last season, nudism was compulsory throughout the resort. In order to attract more visitors, this requirement has been relaxed: it now only applies to the swimming pool area. There, men must be completely naked and women can wear bikini bottoms, but their breasts must be exposed.

— In the rest of the property, with the exception of the swimming pool area, you can move around as you wish. If you want to be naked, be naked; If you want to dress up, dress up. It’s amazing because so many people who weren’t nudists came. We see them dressed in the morning and, at five in the afternoon, they are already naked, because they see everyone and feel more comfortable — explained Pallini.

Almendra, a regular here, went there alone for the first time a year ago:

— I saw the ad on Instagram. This aroused my curiosity. I hesitated a thousand times, but I came. My biggest fear was my body: what would people say? But I arrived and these prejudices disappeared. You see real bodies. Nobody judges anyone.

The first challenge was the swimming pool:

— I arrived in a bikini and the lifeguard, very kindly, explained to me that nudity was obligatory in this area. It was difficult, but I did it. And they told me: “If you don’t feel safe, there are security guards; you can talk to them. If you don’t feel well, there is the first aid station. Being naked took my self-esteem to another level. Here, there is no ideal body to imitate. You are who you are. And by not wearing clothes, you’re not pretending to be someone you’re not.

For those who visit and experience Heaven, it means being free, feeling safe and accepting yourself as you are.

A couple from the west of the city, Fer and Nani, have been frequenting the place since its reopening.

— We talk a lot about the ideal body, but it doesn’t exist: no one looks at anyone. People look you in the eye. You are a person before you are a body. There can only be one Pampita. It helps the people who have the most body image issues, because they come, they see themselves, they see others, they accept themselves, and that’s where the path to liberation begins. We have had very beautiful people here, and they also have problems with self-esteem — explained Fer.

Nani usually comes alone and feels safe.

— The most important thing is to feel welcomed. As a woman, this is fundamental, and here I really felt supported. I came alone to study for university exams, and calm and respect reign. Sometimes I even invite people who aren’t from the area. We all look out for each other.

Confidentiality is another fundamental rule.

— For newcomers who are still hesitant: cell phones are not allowed here. You can be naked in peace, because no one will film or take photos. This aspect is very well protected — explained Verónica, Pallini’s companion for more than ten years.

Heaven also serves as a space to break down prejudices.

— Argentina is late on this point. I talk to friends about it and they don’t understand: they think that because everyone is naked they’re all having sex, or that you walk in and someone touches you. No, no one touches you here. In nudism, no one touches you, says Fer.

In addition to nudism, Pallini incorporated swinging into the camp. “I started to open up to the LGBT+ community, to the swinging community; I opened up to everyone over 21,” he says.

César highlighted the uniqueness of the space:

— You won’t find a place like this anywhere else in South America. You can find nudism on one side and swing on the other, but together like this, it’s unique.

— Yes, you can make love outside if you want. And if you don’t want to, you can walk five blocks in the opposite direction and you won’t see anything, Pallini said.

The property offers several options for swingers or anyone who wants to fulfill their fantasies. There is the “Passion Trail,” a nature trail with outdoor spaces as well as indoor spaces designed for intimate gatherings.

Concerning internal limits, he clarified:

— You cannot do anything in the pool area, nor inside the pool itself. After that you can go anywhere.

There are several future projects. “We are always thinking of new things. We want to have two themed rooms, for example a prison. We will bring games that are normally found in swingers clubs to use here during the day.”

— I also plan to build a sauna and add a jacuzzi, but that will be done in the future, little by little. This is only our second season,” he added.

Pallini’s goal is to encourage people to visit the place even out of season and to make it attractive 365 days a year.

—We have to find a way to do this. I think we will get there little by little, but it will take time. Because winter here is not the same as in the capital. I would settle for two bad months. But not eight, he explained.

And he concluded with his most ambitious dream:
