2019 Chile Total Solar Eclipse
The 2019 Eclipse Tour of Peru and Chile
In July 2019 TravelQuest had a tour of Peru and Chile to see the Total Solar Eclipse. We first arrived in Peru and saw Lima, the Nazca Lines, the Ballestas Islands, and rode dune buggies at the Paracas Dunes. Then we flew onto Cuzco on our way to Machu Picchu. Our next flight was to La Serna, Chile. We all met up met on a Soccer Field near Vicuña, Chile to see the Total Solar Eclipse. YouTube video.
