List of social nudity places in South America

This is a list of social nudity places in South America for recreation.

Nude Beaches

Includes topfree beaches, clothing-optional beaches (or nude beaches) and some resorts. Topfree beaches allow women to sunbathe without a bikini top or other clothing above the waist.
