A CITY THAT VANISHED FROM THE MAPS 25 YEARS AGO IS NOW A GHOST TOWN WITH MYSTERIOUS SURVIVORS

Many Treasures

The city of Villa Epecuen was once a hub of valuable minerals. It was at the beginning of the 20th century when the mining began here. The minerals extracted were majorly used for glass production and medicinal purposes. Sulfates were loaded and sent to the capital for sale so people could enjoy a thermal bath in the bathrooms of their homes. The city had its very first resort opened in 1921 that attracted many tourists who visited Buenos Aires.
