28 Ghost Towns That Have Transformed Into Tourist Hotspots

25. Concordia, Argentina: A Sunken Town Resurfaces

Once a vibrant riverside town, Concordia was partially submerged in the 1970s due to dam construction. For years, its submerged structures were the stuff of ghost stories. But in recent drought years, the water receded—and the ruins began to rise again. What was lost to time has become an eerie attraction: crumbling walls, half-exposed homes, and a church spire breaking through the water’s surface. Tourists now kayak through submerged neighborhoods and walk the exposed ruins during dry seasons. It’s a rare chance to witness a ghost town that literally reemerges from the depths to tell its story again.
