The story of the Primeros Pinos snow park repeats itself, it is that It has not been enabled for years, but on weekends many tourists attend. from the municipality recommend not to attendHowever, people continue to arrive and they assure that some do so through Neuquén agencies that sell tourist packages for the Zapalino destination.
From the municipality of Zapala they indicated in What state is the park in and they assured that it is out of service. The government secretary, Belén Aragón, explained “it is the ISSN (Social Security Institute of Neuquén) who owns the park, the municipality acts as comptroller of whoever wins the tender proposed at the time.”
Today, the park is disabled; however, a large number of tourists arrive every day to enjoy the snow. «We recommend that you do not attend because guarantees and safety and hygiene mechanisms are not given“said Belén Aragón. Of the daily services that a tourist may need, “there is nothing.”
The government secretary commented that last year it was enabled “as a proposal by the province”, so It demanded the intervention of the municipality and the army to control the place. However, this year it was decided that there would be a direct contracting of the park, for which reason it is disabled and without any state intervention.
“I know that there are agencies in Neuquén that are bringing tourists with an armed package and everything else,” said Aragón. “We found out unofficially because do not go through the tourism portal and they tell us,” he explained.
both with the arrival of tourists individually or through agencies, is dangerous. «They come with insurance, but the park is not enabled, and If something happens, it does not cover them“, he exposed.
“Is a agency irresponsibility“said Aragon. «It’s not legal at all and nothing happens, until it happens,” he added.
The government secretary said that Last year civil defense personnel had to go to the park together with the Army to rescue tourists. «You have to mobilize all the instruments of the State to go help a poor neighbor, for a irresponsible agency that promises them guarantee of knowledge of the area,” he said.
«Clearly, if something happens, we are informed and We came to the rescue, to lend a hand, but for a humanitarian issue, not responsibility»pointed out Aragón, adding that during this season, until now, no tourist has had to attend.
