I came to this place in 92 or 93 and had something for me is essential in the landscape. Plenty of water.
Over here rivers do not pass, nor are we near the sea, but there are gaps. Lagunas
girls, lush marshlands swamp and full of life and huge lakes, lakes or maybe because do not know where the limit to the size where they are no longer gaps and become lakes, but I do know is that in some cases across the mirror of water only looked horizon.
For pezca lovers, this was paradise. One stop on the side of a road, put the grill and while of doing the roast, pulled the rod to obtain the largest possible silverside and unexpected amount for which come from the city.
So many fish there that was very common that some neighbor will come and offer 10 or 15 pieces because he had gone fishing and did not know what to do with both.
were everywhere and hunt was a common sport, because their skin is very good and hard, with onions and peas are delicious.
In almost all households had at least one otter-skin rug beside the bed or in the dining room.
But although I knew him well, this was not the landscape of the past in these lands. There
chacareros with all its lands under water and some, most, had flooded much kept his animals or crops slightly higher land where the water did not come.
In many places, the roads were of stones brought from the quarries in the hills near the mountain range Ventania System raised several feet original roads were clogged threatening or water.
85 In this whole area suffered a major flood and the landscape has changed dramatically.
In each roast, some tore to tell stories of his youth where he had a good time in Epecuén. Epecuén
was from the 20's a very important tourist resort, visited by people all over the country and abroad where they were already famous for its healing waters.
According to the anecdotes I hear for 20 years, night there was spectacular and during the summer everyone walked the 60 km dirt road that separates my area.
nostalgia if not enlarge the stories I have, but according to them the enormous saltwater pools, beaches and hotels were crowded during the summer season.
The castle is one of the most common cards that time and I do not dare to tell their story, because they are Many versions of their origins.
But although its splendor seemed inevitable, there were very few pictures and videos alone as he really showed me the place to get an objective idea without the contaminants that memory will be adding in memory.
no doubt was very great. Tourism grew so much and lack of technical means of the time coupled with the certainty that it will always be there, did that today is not easy to find pictures of your best times.
The few that are familiar, yellow and a few that are repeated in all websites.
I knew him as a people ghost, which could walk only by boat between the buildings under 2 feet of water at best. The all-white landscape, given the high concentration of salts and minerals from the water. Dead trees, without leaves, but standing, unusual white with branches coming out of the lagoon. Just
emerged the top of the tower of the castle, until the completion of collapse under water.
A documentary of before and after I recommend you to see.
But water is falling. Year after year, houses are emerging that were not seen, there are roads and bridges. Yesterday I visited Carhué
and although he had heard of the existence of a road linking it with Epecuén, was always lost under the water. I always say, but is actually a quarter of a century. Yesterday
though not in my plans, I found myself walking down this new path for me. I toured as an adventure, discovering an amazing landscape while chatting with a friend.
It occurred to me to ask a person to walk again if that was really the way to the village came and told me that if that had recently been resurfaced, but his story was cut by emotion.
Only those who lived through it know what losing everything like that and see it again cooling them that pain. I did not think back to ask anyone anything.
salt statues a good documentary of 6 parts.
took no camera, because he really thought to go play golf, so the images are not themselves, but any chance I'll record what you see today in this ghost emerges from the lake.
