Viedma residents angry over abandoned motorhomes parked on streets

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. Organizers have planned logistics to avoid concentrating all vehicles in one spot: most will stay at Camping Los Maitenes, with the rest distributed among other campsites within the park. 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.

A draft ordinance in Paraná's Deliberative Council aims to regulate tourism in RVs, motorhomes, campers, and travel trailers. The plan includes designating public areas for camping and overnight stays, equipping them with basic infrastructure (drinking water, electricity, toilets, showers, effluent treatment, waste management), and installing signage. Proposed camping sites include Camping Toma Nueva, the Botanical Park, and Nuevo Humberto Cayetano Varisco Park; overnight areas include Monumento a Urquiza, Plaza Mujeres Entrerrianas, Balneario Thompson, and Parque Urquiza. Users must register in advance, prove vehicle safety compliance, and pay a usage fee via the Mi Paraná app. Maximum stay is 7 business days in camping areas (one extension allowed) and 3 business days in overnight areas (one extension allowed). Violations may result in fines and vehicle removal.
