A motorhome owned by tourists visiting relatives in Lago Puelo caught fire early Thursday. Firefighters extinguished the blaze, preventing it from spreading to nearby cabins. Missing items were found inside the vehicle, prompting a theft complaint. Police, forensic experts, and prosecutors are investigating the cause of the fire and its possible link to the reported theft.

The Municipal Bank of Rosario has launched an online auction of used city buses with starting prices from 8 million pesos.

The auction is conducted entirely online, with each lot including technical details and photos.

Mario, a 71-year-old from Pilar, handed over his travel agency to his son and set off across Argentina in a converted 1989 Volvo fire truck. The vehicle features solar panels, a security camera system, and hydraulic stabilizers, with a range of about 2,000 km. His first trip was a three-month journey through northern Argentina with his grandson.

A group of travelers was stranded by a heavy snowstorm on Mount Pissis in Argentina's Catamarca province. One of those affected admitted they were unprepared, and tourism officials called for stronger preventive measures. Fernando Millán, a tourist from Buenos Aires, spent nearly 24 hours trapped inside his vehicle with his family after a sudden whiteout covered the road in minutes. According to Millán, they had left before the expected weather change, but around 2:00 p.m. the convoy of several vehicles became stuck. Snow blocked the exhaust pipe, forcing them to turn off the engine due to the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning. Civil defense personnel reached the area on foot and evacuated the tourists via an alternate route, as clearing the main road was impossible. A total of 120 people were rescued in the operation.
