3. “Truth is Beauty” Statue

This is one of the most iconic things of the BMF. At night it goes from complete darkness until it starts to illuminate progressively from her “heartbeats.”

4. Dust Storms

This might sound a bit scary, but it is something you can’t miss. But don’t forget your goggles, though.

This is a spanking machine that takes no mercy. It will leave your behind seriously aroused.

10. The Temple

12. The Burn

The Burn represents a different meaning for each burner. But the general conception is that he represents ‘the man’, corporate corruption, dirty politics and everything that is holding our world back.

13. Theme Camps

14. Art Cars

15. Fire Skeeball

When you manage to get a ball in, the whole things blows up in fire.

16. Nudity

It is veeeery common for both sexes to hang around the Playa wearing nothing, but their birth skin. It can be a bit shocking at first, but you’ll get the hang to it.
