Chile 2020:
Total Eclipse of the Corazón/Heart
Estelle Travel and Vinum Docet partner to provide an amazing trip to southern Chile for the total solar eclipse in the Southern Hemisphere on December 14, 2020. Using Concepción, Chile as our base we will travel south to the small town Pitrufquén, Chile to stay in cabins that are directly in the path of the solar eclipse. Nearby Lake Villarica and surrounding volcanoes from the Andes Mountains provide a backdrop for the eclipse, and for a nature outing the day after the eclipse. After we return to Concepción, there will be a day trip to vineyards in Chile’s southernmost wine region, Bio-Bio, and a day of sight-seeing in Concepcion, followed by sunset at the mouth of the Bio-Bio river, followed by dinner.
Trip Cost: $2500 (includes all in-country transportation, lodging, breakfast and $50 dinner allowance. Airfare to and from Chile and lunch costs not included)
