Where are the best spots to see Total Solar Eclipse in Argentina?

So, if you want to experience the longest totality duration (about 2 minutes and 30 seconds), you should observe the eclipse from those locations (somewhere on the north of San Juan province, e.g. Las Flores - totality 2:29). But if you are on the south-eastern part of the marked area (Buenos Aires province), don't worry, the totality will take about 2 minutes there (e.g. in Lobos 2:06, in Navarro 2:05). However, the Sun altitude in Buenos Aires will be very low, so you should find a place where you are able to clearly see the west and west-north horizon with no obstruction like buildings, slopes or trees.
