10:34 in the morning on our second day, led by Pedro, a prominent astronomer, we witnessed a solar annular eclipse. He handed out special sunblocking glasses and explained to us that the moon would briefly align between the earth and the sun. And so for a period of 30 minutes or the sun light would darken and we would feel a chill. To witness this even with fellow nature lovers in this special Parque was a highlight for me. Alex shared our binoculars and that helped to see the eclipse larger with a cast of green light.
Gathering for the big event.

Johanna is second to the left. She is the Parque manager and became a fast friend.
After the eclipse we took another hike. Shorter this time, but still spectacular
