但这一切都在1985年发生了改变。当年11月10日，该市附近一座名叫Lago Epecuén的咸水湖溃坝，祸及Epecuén，湖水漫过城市街道4英尺之高，到1993年，这座昔日繁华的旅游城市已经全部淹没在湖面之下。

到了2009年，当地多雨潮湿的气候有所减少，湖面高度开始慢慢降低，渐渐露出了城市原有的风貌，但被咸水浸泡了二十多年的城市已然是一个历经沧桑的废城。法新社摄影师Juan Mabromata 2011年来到这座城市，拜访了这座城市的居民，并拍摄下这座被咸水浸泡25年后的真实情况。

The Ruins of Villa Epecuen

[tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb                 Back in the 1920s, a tourist village was established along the shore of Lago Epecuen, a salt lake some 600 kilometers southwest of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The resort town, named Villa Epucuen, soon had a railroad station, and it thrived for several decades, peaking in the 1970s with a population of more than 5,000. Around the same time, a long-term weather event was delivering far more rain than usual to the surrounding hills for years, and Lago Epecuen began to swell. In 1985, the salty waters broke through an earthen dam, and Villa Epecuen was doomed. A slow-growing flood consumed the town until it reached a depth of 10 meters (33 feet) in 1993. The wet weather later reversed, and the waters began to recede in 2009. AFP photographer Juan Mabromata recently visited the ruins of Villa Epecuen, met its sole inhabitant, and returned with these images.
