Yes, partial eclipse: the Sun will be 69% covered at maximum from Santa Lucía.
Maximum occurs at 19:53 local time (18:53 UTC) in Santa Lucía.
Look WNW (azimuth 282°); the Sun will be 10° above the horizon at maximum from Santa Lucía.
Santa Lucía is a good option (score 55/100): all eclipse phases are visible, though not the regional optimum.
Yes, you need ISO 12312-2 certified eclipse glasses during every partial phase. Regular sunglasses do NOT protect. Glasses can only be removed during the totality phase (when the Sun is fully covered); never during annular or partial eclipses. Pages flagged "visible" assume a clear horizon, not a viewing recommendation.
For the August 12 eclipse. Recommended stay: Aug 10–14, 2026.
