2020 Solar Eclipse in Patagonia

A Stellar Journey through Argentina

In the travel business, phrases like “once-in-a-lifetime” are sometimes loosely bandied, but when it comes to this solar eclipse experience in the heart of Patagonia, Argentina, it’s an apt description. In December 2020, you can witness this stargazing extravaganza among the natural splendor of this beautiful country and its blue lagoons, snow-capped mountains, shimmering lakes, and wooded forests. The main event is set to happen on December 14th during South American summertime—when clear skies and little to no rain promise the best view. Thank you, nature! If you’ve always wanted to travel to South America, now you have the best of excuses! (Not that you needed one.)

The 2019 solar eclipse took place on July 2nd, inspiring travelers across the globe to visit Chile’s Atacama Desert. Not that it’s a competition, but the 2020 eclipse promises to be even longer, lasting around four minutes and 33 seconds at its climax.

This customized journey takes you to the otherworldly landscapes of Argentina’s Patagonia, beginning in Isla Victoria, an island as big as Manhattan with views of the picture-perfect Lake District. You’ll go deer spotting on hikes through wooded forests and serene blue lagoons. You’ll also enjoy gourmet meals al fresco with stunning lake views. You’ll also journey through the ethereal landscapes of Northern Patagonia to an exclusive campsite set up near Santo Tomas town where you’ll dine under the stars ahead of the big day, which starts with an optional early morning hike through forested trails before meeting a personal eclipse concierge back at the luxury camp. The astronomy expert will be on hand with eclipse glasses, yoga mats, and a high-tech telescope, making sure your view of the natural phenomenon is safe, comfortable, and memorable.

Post-eclipse your luxury Patagonia trip continues back in Bariloche, where you can spend more time exploring the shores of Lake Nahuel Huapi, hike to the picturesque look-out point in the national park, and (for the brave among you) squeeze in a rappelling excursion over a giant boulder, always accompanied by your very own expert local guide.
