The Total Eclipse of April 8, 2024 in Durango

As totality moves through Mexico toward the northeast, Durango is the next major city in the path. Durango lies almost halfway between the centerline and the southern edge of the path. This means that the farther northwest you go, the more totality you will see.

The eclipse happens at different times in different locations. Use the slider on the map above to show you when totality will happen as the eclipse passes through the Durango area.

Where can I see the total eclipse?

At the intersection of roads 45 and 40D on the north side of town, totality will last about 3m 56s. While on the southeast side of the city, where road 23 crosses the river, you would see only 3m 33s. An extra 23 seconds of totality might not seem like very much, but on eclipse day you will be very glad to get as much time in the shadow as possible!

Make sure not to be too far southeast of the city, either: On road 45, the limit of totality lies at about the town of Nombre de Dios. La Colorada also lies on the southern limit. But heading west on 45, you’ll get a lot more time in the shadow by getting to Guadalupe Aguilera (4m 23s!). If you can go even farther north on road 23 from there, then the centerline lies just beyond the town of Canatlán. That city itself will get three more seconds than in Aguilera. There are plenty of great places you should be able to watch the eclipse from!
