Story:
On a previous post I mentioned about the sad news that Laguna de Aculeo water had vanished and you could only see dry land where there was a waterbed. With the latest intensive rain, water started to appear as a small mirror.
You could still see the salt formations that were left when the lagoon vanished. The GPS address of the images I took, showed on old satellite images I was standing where water should be.
The second visit, after another long rain, the water mirror had increased, and in certain zones you could see the old splendor. If the rain continues to fall, eventually the lagoon will recover its original borderline.
