Watch | This eerie Argentine ghost town is luring tourists

Over the past few years the town of Epecuen, located 550 km southwest of Buenos Aires, has been attracting tourists with its eerie apocalyptic atmosphere after a flood submerged it in salt water for more than two decades.

Originally a busy lakeside tourist village in the 1920's renowned for its saltwater baths, Epecuen came to a sudden end in November 10, 1985 when a succession of rainy winters caused Epecuen to overflow and water surged through a special retaining wall and into the town.

Now, 30 years on, the water has evaporated and former residents can walk amidst the rusted out ruins of what was once their town.
