Villa Gesell the Dune Builder of Argentina’s Seaside
Carlos Gesell, known as the Madman of the Dunes, transformed wind swept sands on Argentina’s Atlantic coast into the Villa Gesell resort after buying 4000 hectares of barren land in 1931 and planting 5 million weeds to tame dunes. The 76 year old philanthropist and founder, who named the town after his father Silvio Gesell, faced protests from families and a brief tourism decline but the seaside retreat now hosts about 180000 visitors in peak season with hundreds of hotels and chalets.
