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.

The economy is simple; everything is free; food, drinks, everything. The only thing that you buy with money in the BM is ice.
6. Orgy Doom
Yep. It is exactly what you are thinking.
7. PAudiotrons
Someone had the brilliant idea of installing sound systems in random port-o-potties around the playa.
8. Pink Puja
This workshop makes you step out of your comfort zone and mingle (but in a meditation kinda way) with complete strangers.
9. Spank-o-Matic
This is a spanking machine that takes no mercy. It will leave your behind seriously aroused.
10. The Temple
This is the place where you let go of every negative thought or concern of your life. It is absolutely fantastic.
11. Genuine Human Interaction
People make eye contact and make serious conversations with each other. Everyone makes sure the good vibes are spread all over the place.
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
There is a camp for almost everything. Quartier you can grab a chocolate croissant and cheese, in the Circus Camp you can swing on a trapeze, at HeeBeeJeeBee Healers you can find someone to give you a full-body massage, an the list goes on and on.
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.
