In Brief

From September 1, 2026, motorhomes cannot stay at the municipal tourist parking lot in Arraial do Cabo. Entry requires a campsite booking; overnight stays in public spaces are prohibited.

Starting September 1, 2026, motorhomes will be banned from staying at the municipal tourist vehicle parking lot in Arraial do Cabo. The measure aligns with article 9 of decree No. 3.506/2021, according to the municipal tourism secretariat. Motorhome owners must proceed directly to pre-booked campsites; using the parking lot or other public spaces for overnight stays is forbidden.

Entry into the city is only allowed with a campsite booking, and proof must be shown at the checkpoint at the Pórtico. Drivers must then head straight to their accommodation. Overnight stays, camping, and setting up external structures in public areas are prohibited. The parking lot will retain its operational function for passenger drop-off/pick-up and tourist flow control. According to one source, motorhomes with bookings are exempt from parking fees but are not allowed to stop on public roads.

The municipality of Tandil, Argentina, has drafted an ordinance regulating parking, overnight stays, and waste disposal for motorhomes, caravans, and camper vans. The document prohibits overnight parking in public spaces from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. and the discharge of gray and black water in unauthorized locations. Violators face fines, and repeat offenders may have their vehicles towed. Similar regulations are expected to be adopted in other tourist cities across the country.

Laura Terra, 35, a journalist from Pelotas, and Bruno Rezende, 36, a videomaker from São Bernardo do Campo, live in a converted van they call Maresia e Marerê. The expedition began on 24 July in Barra do Chuí, at the southern tip of Brazil, and is expected to end in Oiapoque, Amapá, covering more than 8,500 km; the estimated duration is two to three years. The couple originally planned a South American tour, but after being defrauded during the van's conversion and exceeding their budget, they opted to start with Brazil's coast from south to north. They are accompanied by three cats; the journey is documented on social media under the name The Search Couple.

Former Brazilian deputy prosecutor-general Solange Mendes de Souza converted a motorhome into a home to carry her piano after retirement. The Piano Nômade project has covered Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Paraguay, Chile and Peru, logging nearly 50,000 km. The motorhome is equipped with solar panels, lithium batteries, a diesel stove and tanks for 260 litres of water. The next stage is North America (US, Mexico, Canada).

From September 11 to 20, Pomerode, Brazil, is hosting a national motorhome rally organised by Grupo Rodamundo Santa Catarina. The event takes place at the Municipal Events Park; at least 380 motorhomes are expected, with previous editions reaching 535 vehicles. Participation costs R$ 330 for members and R$ 350 for non-members, with no camping fee. The programme includes music, tours, traditional German dinners and competitions; transport is provided for shopping and sightseeing.
