International gathering of 250 motorhomes to be held in Los Alerces National Park

From October 8 to 15, Los Alerces National Park in the Argentine province of Chubut will host an international meeting of motorhome owners, with about 250 vehicles expected from Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. Participants will tour Esquel, Trevelin, and other nearby attractions.

The program includes cultural activities, artistic performances, and regional gastronomy, including traditional Argentine dishes. The event coincides with the tulip season in Trevelin and is expected to boost local businesses.
