When and where is it

The December 2020 Solar Eclipse is taking place in the northern lake districts of Chile and Argentina.

Places to see the Solar Eclipse

Pucon

At the northern part of the Chilean Lake district, Pucon is a famous lakeside resort for Chileans to spend their summers. It is also the jumping off point for some fantastic adventures such as hiking volcanoes, white water rafting, mountain biking and hiking, or a combination of them all! From here it is possible to climb the Villarica Volcano and hike in the stunning Huequehue National park.

San Martin de Los Andes

This small, sleepy lakeside town is the quieter sister of Bariloche. San Martin (as it is known locally) is the jumping off point for hikes that summit the Lanin Volcano and multi-day bike rides across the Andes into Chile. Sitting on the shores of the mighty Lascar Lake, it makes a wonderful base for exploring the area and is equally suited as a place to relax after a strenuous adventure.
