What you will see
Mocha is outside the path of totality, so the Sun is never fully covered. At the peak, 13:47:33 local time, the Moon hides 93% of the Sun. The partial eclipse starts at 12:23:55 and ends at 15:02:49, 2 h 39 min later.
At the peak the Sun is 67° above the horizon, towards the west, so you want a clear view in that direction from Mocha.
