Three stories of life in a motorhome: from idea to round-the-world trip

The article profiles three families and travelers who left traditional jobs and lifestyles to travel in motorhomes. Key facts: Carolina Fenoy and Santiago Bertaina from Córdoba, Argentina, sold everything in 2019 and set off on a round-the-world trip in a homemade camper, later converting a Toyota Hilux 4x4 into a motorhome and driving from Ushuaia to Alaska. Shiru Lerner, 35, has been traveling alone in her motorhome 'La Zorra' for three years, covering over 50,000 km, and plans to reach Alaska. Patricia Fehr and Germán de Córdova from San Nicolás de los Arroyos, Argentina, have lived since 2003 in a converted school bus with their daughter Inti (17) and dog, funding the trip through lectures and content sales. All note that motorhome life requires managing daily chores (water, gas, electricity) and adapting to constant movement.

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. 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.

Chubut to host international caravan of 250 motorhomes

In October, Los Alerces National Park in Chubut, Argentina, will host a gathering of motorhome owners from five South American countries. Around 250 participants from Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, Brazil, and Argentina are expected. The event is organized by a motorhome association from Comodoro Rivadavia with support from the national parks administration and provincial authorities. Motorhomes will be placed at Camping Los Maitenes and other sites within the park. The program includes performances by a military band, folk shows, and tastings of traditional dishes. The date was chosen to coincide with the tulip season in Trevelin.
