Total Solar Eclipse 2019 travel information
The total solar eclipse of 2nd July 2019.
The major land masses on the eclipse path include Chile and Argentina. The bulk of the remainder of the eclipse path is accross the South Pacific. While I am trying to identify land masses in the Pacific Ocean I'm not hopeful of finding anything accessible. I think the most accessible land close to the point of greatest eclipse will be the western coast of Chile.
NASA has published an interactive Google map of the eclipse path.
Current eclipse plans
Currently we have no definative plans for this eclipse. But booking early will be essential as accomodation is likely to be in very short supply given the eclipse path.
Eclipse tour operators
Tour operators wishing to do so may submit their current plans to me if they wish to have such republished here on the condition that you keep me informed of any changes/updates.
