Carhué, Thermal resort town in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina
Carhué stands near Lake Epecuén, with streets lined by Francisco Salamone's concrete architecture and a 36-meter tower marking the municipal palace.
The settlement began as Fort Carhué in 1877, serving as a key defensive position in the Zanja de Alsina line against indigenous populations.
The name Carhué originates from Mapuche language, combining 'car' meaning green and 'hué' signifying land, reflecting the area's indigenous heritage.
Visitors access thermal treatments and saltwater therapies at multiple facilities throughout the town, with temperatures reaching 30 degrees Celsius year-round.
The ruins of Villa Epecuén, submerged under water in 1985 and resurfacing in 2009, create an open-air museum of preserved streets and buildings.
