Thanks Joe, exactly the info i needed!!
Tickets already booked for flight, on one ticket too! Qantas was by far the cheapest coming in at $1320 a adult, $980 a child, which carries through baggage allowance. Multicity on their web site is easy to use if you know how to use it to find the cheapest deal.
Where planning on back packing it this time, so no push suit cases, due to the amount of walking i expect we will be doing and i am going to restrict myself to just my one camera body and 2 lenses at most! I'll take my smaller tripod, which should fit in, and this will reduce my weight down by not taking my 1kg+ 100-400mm lens... Its my 4th eclipse so all I'm going to aim for this time is some wide angle photos and more observation time!
Even going light on clothing with 3 pairs of jeans/shirts at most. Good winter coat and thats it.
definitely will do lima up to cuzco run, bus and possibly internal flight as well. Just got to sit down with better half and figure it out. More concerned on dates lining up right and allowing time for things to go wrong. Plan on trying to do bookings now too, given this is a high tourist area and with a impending eclipse it will be crazy busy! I have given myself a extra day from Arica to Santiago flight, given there is only 1 direct flight early morning.
I wasn't sure on driving in Chile, but having a car in la serena would be handy if it does cloud over. I'll see what buses are around and what my options are.
