Why do I say that? I have been chasing solar eclipses since 1991 when I led a group down the Baja Peninsula to observe a total solar eclipse. This was my first total solar eclipse. Wouldn't you know it Mazatlan was on this path in 1991 and will be again in April 8, 2024. This was the first of 20+ groups I have taken all over the world chasing the sun's shadow. The photo above is from Pucon, Chile on December 14, 2020.
Why Mazatlan, you may ask? The calculus problem is to maximize the time of the eclipse and minimize potential cloud cover. Mazatlan is close to the black dot by the "e" in Mexico and has the highest probability of clean skies along the entire path. You need to be between the red lines to observe totality as pictured above. This total solar eclipse will occur April 8, 2024, two weeks after Easter, so the Mexican's who take Holy Week and the week after Easter off should be back home.
Many of us will be blacking out down under as we will sail from Perth, Australia in April of 2023. I plan to go to Taipei, Singapore, Perth, do the 5-night cruise and then take the Indian Pacific Train back to Sydney. The solar eclipse is April 20, 2023.
The magic of a total solar eclipse brings out many observers. Witness the USA the eclipse of 21st of August 2017. Oregon was full of umbraphiles and the Teton Valley, Idaho sunk a foot with all the people. Depending on where you go in the world, letting nature set your travel schedule will take you to very remote, different and unique parts of the world.
