In the late 1960s, a wave of American youth traveled south to Mexico’s Oaxaca coast, seeking personal freedom and an escape from materialism and the Vietnam conflict.

Over time, the area evolved into a haven for alternative lifestyles, laying the groundwork for the modern naturist community that exists there today.
