Fact On November 6, 1985, a seiche, caused by a rare weather pattern, broke a nearby dam on lake Epecuen in Argentina. Water rose progressively, reaching a peak of 10 metres (33 ft). The village became uninhabitable and was never rebuilt t.co/nSK2hHacvM
Many of the ruins are covered by a layer of white and grey salt. At the time, there were up to 280 businesses in Epecuén, including lodges, guesthouses, hotels, and businesses that 25,000 tourists visited between November and March, from the 1950s to the 1970s.
Now for the Argentine movie "Los Olvidalos", internationally released as "What the Waters Left Behind". The footage of the town and the story was well done (and truly disastrous). The horror story that followed was so-so but definitely worth the watch just for the footage.
Definitely a place to visit on my bucket list! #losolvidalos #whatthewatersleftbehind #horror
