It may look like a scene from a zombie apocalypse film, but this is Argentina’s latest tourist attraction.
Epecuen, which is 549 kilometres southwest of Buenos Aires, has been attracting tourists with its eerie atmosphere after a flood submerged it in saltwater for more than two decades.
Originally a busy lakeside village in the 1920s, renowned for its saltwater baths, Epecuen came to a sudden end in November 1985 when the town’s lake overflowed and water surged into the town.
Residents and tourists were forced to evacuate and just days later their homes and buildings were covered by almost 10 metres of saltwater.
Now, 30 years on, the water has evaporated and former residents can walk through the ruins of what was once their town.
