[edit] History

Since 2005, the UFA (Unión Furry Argentina) has been holding this encounter every year, which is the first and still only outdoors furry encounter in Argentina.

Its beginnings date back to 2004, when ZorroRe and Gato Gris went camping to a shelter for climbers situated between the cities of Mar del Plata and Balcarce. The following year, they took the initiative to start having an annual camp open for all the fandom.

The location chosen each year has been "La Serranita", in Colinas Verdes, 27 Km. away from Mar del Plata city.

It usually takes place during summer holydays in the northern hemisphere, and people from different parts of Argentina attend to it, and ocassionally from other countries too.

Throughout the years, attendance at the event has been growing. Starting with 7 people in 2005, subsequent years attracted, 9, 11, 13 and 20 campers.

Currently Timolobo is the main organizer of this event.
