I suspect that the bright ’star’ below the Luna is the planet Mars - indeed, I checked with my software and it is Mars as seen from Bariloche, January 29th late evening. Mars was at opposition (opposite the Sun, i.e., rises as the Sun sets, just like the full moon, which is in opposition once every month at full moon) just that day.

Gracias Changcho. We thought it was Mars due to the reddish color, but now we know for sure.
Saludos, Jamie
