Original source: noticiasdelbolson.com.ar

In Brief

El Bolsón city council will consider a proposal allowing motorhome parking in the center for up to 4 hours, but banning overnight stays. Fines are increased.

The city council of El Bolsón (Argentina) will consider a new initiative, introduced by councilor Sofía Serof, that relaxes current restrictions on motorhomes and caravans. The current ordinance 066/2022 bans parking of such vehicles in the city center around the clock.

The new proposal allows parking for up to four hours on designated streets, including Avenida Sarmiento, Calle Juez Fernández, and the Güemes neighborhood. Overnight stays and camping in public spaces remain prohibited. Nighttime rest is only permitted in three authorized campgrounds with facilities for gray and black water disposal. Penalties for violations are increased.

According to Serof, the measure aims to attract motorhome tourists who spend money in local shops and restaurants.
