2027 Annular Eclipse in Uruguay: Where to See the Ring of Fire
Uruguay offers a compact, easy-to-plan version of the eclipse: the annular path reaches the east of the country, combining resorts, beaches and roads that can support both comfortable stays and some weather mobility.
Do not confuse the gateway with the annular path
Montevideo gets a partial eclipse, not the ring of fire
Maximum eclipse in Montevideo is around 12:36 UYT, magnitude 0.919. To see annularity you must travel to a location inside the path, which makes base and transport choice a core part of the trip.

Choose the strategy before the city
Operational balance
Maldonado
Close to Punta with a more road-friendly setup for Plan B moves.
Quieter coast
La Paloma / Rocha
More of a road-trip feel; requires stronger mobility and weather planning.
Our rule for 6 February
Book the trip early, but do not mentally book the exact viewing field. The final site should remain flexible until forecasts become useful. A good hotel inside the path is your base—not necessarily the exact place from which you will watch the eclipse.
