The southern Patagonia region is dry and in some cases forests are ablaze.

At least 34,000 hectares (84,000 acres) of forest have already been destroyed by the flames, which started two weeks ago in the Cholila lake region, according to national fire management chief Fernando Epele.

Local authorities first said lightning triggered the fires. But federal officials have said arson cannot be ruled out in some cases of potential "burn and rebuild" land speculation.
