As we get ready for the annular eclipse above Easter Island, a compelling question lingers: Who constructed the Moai Statues?

Yet even today, the true purpose of these Moai statues remains tantalizingly out of reach."

Mexico Copper Canyon Eclipse Part 3 -The indigenous Tarahumara people (also called the Rarámuri) originally inhabited much of what is now the Mexican state of Chihuahua. But after the arrival of Spanish colonizers in the 1500s, most retreated to the higher slopes and hidden canyons of the Sierra Madre range – in a region now known as the Sierra Tarahumara.
With an estimated current population between 50,000 and 70,000, the Tarahumara speak a language derived from ancient Aztec that has survived despite the prevalence of Spanish. Most follow a traditional way of life, often making their homes in caves or below overhanging cliffs. Many are subsistence farmers, growing corn, beans and other staples in small plots. Others graze cattle, sheep and goats on the valley floors and hillsides. Deeply connected to the mountains they’ve called home for centuries, the Tarahumara tend to move from place to place throughout the year, often traveling on foot – and as a result, many are renowned long-distance runners.

What makes the Atacama Desert so special?
Driest Place on Earth: It's often hailed as one of the driest deserts in the world. Some parts of the Atacama have never recorded rainfall, and the average annual rainfall is less than 1 millimeter.
Best Stargazing Locations: Stargazing in the Atacama Desert is an absolutely breathtaking experience and is considered one of the best places on Earth for observing the night sky.
Astronomical Observatories: The Atacama Desert is home to some of the world's most advanced astronomical observatories.
Unique Flora and Fauna: Despite its harsh conditions, the Atacama supports a variety of specialized plant and animal species adapted to survive in this extreme environment.
Extreme Temperatures: The Atacama Desert experiences dramatic temperature fluctuations between day and night due to its high altitude and lack of cloud cover. While daytime temperatures can soar to over 40°C (104°F) in some areas, nighttime temperatures can drop below freezing.

Come and see the Aqueduct of Segovia in 2026, which stands as a remarkable testament to Roman engineering prowess, believed to have been constructed in the 1st or 2nd century AD during the rule of either Emperor Domitian or Emperor Trajan. Its purpose was to transport water over 17 kilometers from the Frío River to the city of Segovia, providing a reliable water supply for its inhabitants. The aqueduct consists of over 25,000 granite blocks, assembled without mortar, and features two tiers of arches, with the upper tier reaching a height of about 28 meters. Despite its ancient origins, the aqueduct remained in use for centuries, undergoing periodic repairs and maintenance, and it continues to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attracting visitors who marvel at its enduring beauty and historical significance.

On the second part of our Texas eclipse journey, we had the opportunity to explore two UNESCO World Heritage sites: Mission San José, founded by Franciscan missionary Fray Antonio Margil de Jesús in 1720, and the Alamo, a fortified mission pivotal in the 1835 Texas Revolution against the Mexican government.
Immersing ourselves in San Antonio's rich culture, we embarked on a serene cruise down the River Walk, where the picturesque promenade adorned with a plethora of restaurants, cafes, and shops stands as one of Texas' most cherished attractions.

Marc is a seasoned meteorologist with a career spanning nearly four decades, commencing in 1985 within the Belgian Air Force. Over the course of fifteen years, he honed his expertise within operational air force bases until transitioning to a pivotal role as a marine meteorologist at the Royal Meteorological Institute of Belgium, stationed at the bustling port of Ostend. Presently, Marc continues to contribute his extensive knowledge and skills to the Institute, maintaining a steadfast commitment to meteorological research and forecasting.
Marc has dedicated a significant portion of his career to Antarctic exploration and scientific endeavors.

During his tenure in Antarctica, Marc had the privilege of witnessing his first total solar eclipse on December 4th, 2021, and he was hooked! This transformative event further solidified his dedication to meteorology and his relationship with TravelQuest. He played a pivotal role in the success of the Mexico's Copper Canyon Total Solar Eclipse and looks forward to many more opportunities to stand in the shadow of the moon - with TQ!
