Wildfires have swept across a popular tourist destination in the Argentine Patagonia, destroying a large area of forest, destroying properties, and forcing thousands of tourists and hundreds of locals to flee.
Around 3,000 hectares (30 square km) of forest in parts of southern Argentina have burned since Monday, fuelled by drought conditions and strong winds.
A vast area of the Comarca Andina, one of the top tourist destinations in the heart of the Andes Mountains, has been damaged.

On Wednesday, Ignacio Torres, the governor of Chubut province, said “more than 3,000 tourists” had been moved away from the Puerto Patriada lake resort, along with a few dozen locals.
More than 350 people, helped by helicopters, amphibious planes, and air tankers, have been trying to extinguish the flames, officials in Chubut province, their efforts hampered by massive columns of smoke which have reduced visibility for ground crews.
The affected area includes the Argentine Patagonia towns of El Bolson, Lago Puelo, and El Hoyo, known for their mountains, lakes, and forests popular with walkers.
Forest fires are common during the Argentine summer, from December and March, thanks to high temperatures, strong winds, and drought.

Argentina’s National Fire Management Service has issued a red alert for fire danger in eight central and southern provinces.
The first large-scale fire recorded in 2026 comes one year after the worst forest fires in decades razed tens of thousands of hectares in Patagonia, destroyed dozens of homes, and left one person dead.
