The ‘fervor’ of the eclipse: natural spaces and roads closed, health alert and skyrocketing hotel prices
The great excitement generated by the total solar eclipse threatens to collapse roads, access to the best observation spots, and cause a disorderly invasion of natural spaces amid the general alert for the risk of forest fires. There is deep interest, but also uncertainty, because no one knows for sure the final scale of the mobilization. In the middle of the tourist season and with accommodations already full, prices soar and opportunists and scams appear. Tourist behavior will also be key, in addition to internal mobility, with locals and enthusiasts moving at the last minute if bad weather appears.
