WOW - Lago Epecuén is a spooky but a fascinating place, Argentina. Panamericana Ep94

On my way to Buenos Aires to house sit for a friend of mine while he is on holiday with his family for a month.
And after the month I headed on towards Argentinas South to the places I haven't seen on my first trips to Patagonia. First site to stop was Lago Epecuén of course.
"Villa Epecuén was a tourist village in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina, on the eastern shore of Laguna Epecuén, about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) north of the city of Carhué. Developed in the early 1920s, Epecuén was accessible from Buenos Aires by train. The Sarmiento Railway line served Villa Epecuén station, while the Midland Railway and the Buenos Aires Great Southern Railway carried passengers to nearby Carhué station.[2] Tourism was developed by an Englishman after taking the land on lease. He marketed the lake as having healing properties, hiring Italian scientists to bolster the claim.[3] At its height, Villa Epecuén could accommodate at least 5,000 visitors.[4]
On 6 November 1985, a seiche, caused by a rare weather pattern, broke a nearby dam, and then the dike protecting the village; the water rose progressively, reaching a peak of 10 metres (33 ft). The village became uninhabitable and was never rebuilt. 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.
The town reached a population of 1,500 inhabitants at its peak. As of 2011 it had one resident, Pablo Novak, born in 1930, who returned to his home in 2009 when the waters receded after covering the town for 25 years.[1] Pablo's Villa, a 2013 documentary, chronicles the life of the town and of Novak."

Echt Klasse daß Du wieder mal hier bist in A ! 😍

[@MrHarmonika]

Coole Location! Der Platz bei den Strohballen wäre nicht so meiner gewesen. Mäuse und Ratten lieben Strohballen. Schlangen lieben Mäuse und Ratten. Wünsche dir einen schönen Aufenthalt in BA (na ned Bad Aussee).😉😁

[@RideHardTravelGentle]

ich mag all das Viehzeug auch die Schlangen 😁👍🏼

[@MrHarmonika]

@@RideHardTravelGentle Okay, wenn es gut zubereitet ist sag ich auch ja. Aber halt nicht im Schlafsack.

[@levarris14]

Also Deine Reiselogik und die Abfolge der Videobeiträge EP1 - EP94 werde ich wahrscheinlich erst studieren müssen ... fährst du in Südamerika im Kreis herum, oder ? 🤣

[@RideHardTravelGentle]

Ja, hab ja kein Ziel. Nachdem ich letztes mal aus Ö nach Südamerika bin hat mich mein Kumpel gefragt ob ich auf sein Haus aufpasse, deswegen bin ich bis dahin nach Bolivien und zurück gefahren. Und wie gsagt, da waren ein paar Orte in Argentinien wo i noch ned war 😁
