Regional commemorations and public works in South America

Overview

In August 2026, local holidays were announced in Tres Algarrobos, Argentina, to mark the town’s 125th anniversary, and in the Loreto region of Peru to commemorate the Amazon River being named one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.

By September, celebrations continued in Loreto, Argentina, where Governor Juan Pablo Valdés led the 209th anniversary festivities. These events included a civic-military parade and the signing of an agreement to construct an Interpretation Center intended to support tourism and industrialization.

In Córdoba, Governor Martín Llaryora conducted a tour of the Tercero Arriba department to mark the 113th anniversary of Río Tercero. During this tour, he announced various infrastructure, health, and education projects, including the upcoming launch of the Provincial University of Córdoba and a pledge of $300 million for street improvements in Dalmacio Vélez.

Further regional developments in Argentina include Governor Carlos Sadir inspecting hospital infrastructure improvements in Palpalá, Jujuy, and the government in Santa Cruz extending state services to Perito Moreno through the ‘Viva Barrio’ program. Additionally, a 120 million peso road repair plan was announced in Goya, and social housing was delivered in Catriló.

By mid-September, energy and infrastructure projects expanded. In Neuquén, Governor Rolando Figueroa announced the 2026 Exploratory Plan for Vaca Muerta, which includes reincorporating gas blocks previously returned by YPF, while Plastiferro Oil & Gas inaugurated a new facility in Plaza Huincul. In Chubut, Governor Ignacio Torres oversaw the bidding process for the Rawson-Trelew highway. Meanwhile, in Chile’s Aysén Region, historical research is investigating cannons in the Guayaneco archipelago potentially linked to the 1741 shipwreck of the HMS Wager.
