For years, <strong data-start=\"445\" data-end=\"462\">Santa Tracker<\/strong>, the platform created by Google, has established itself as one of the most popular digital experiences on December 24. Through an interactive map, thematic games and educational content, the tool allows you to follow Santa&#8217;s legendary journey around the world in real time as he delivers gifts.  <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"791\" data-end=\"1176\">Google makes this experience available to users completely free of charge through its official website, accessible from any device with an internet connection. Since the beginning of December, the site is filled with Christmas activities, but it is on Christmas Eve when Santa Tracker reaches its most anticipated moment: the live tracking of Santa&#8217;s journey. <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"1178\" data-end=\"1255\"><strong data-start=\"1181\" data-end=\"1255\">What is Santa Tracker and why has it become a Christmas classic?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1257\" data-end=\"1618\"><a href=\"https:\/\/santatracker.google.com\/intl\/es\/\"><strong data-start=\"1257\" data-end=\"1274\">Santa Tracker<\/strong><\/a> is a website developed by Google that combines entertainment, information and technology to recreate Santa&#8217;s journey during the night of December 24. The platform brings together a virtual Christmas village full of games, interactive challenges, curiosities about Christmas and educational content designed for all ages. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1620\" data-end=\"2005\">The main attraction of Santa Tracker comes with the start of Santa&#8217;s journey. From that moment on, the site transforms and displays an animated map that simulates how Santa travels through countries and cities, delivering gifts throughout the night. The experience is designed to follow the journey in real time, adapting to the different time zones of the planet.  <\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"2007\" data-end=\"2066\"><strong data-start=\"2010\" data-end=\"2066\">How to follow Santa Claus&#8217; route in real time<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"2068\" data-end=\"2382\">Since <strong data-start=\"2077\" data-end=\"2096\">December 24,<\/strong> the virtual village of Santa Tracker has been adapted to allow tracking of Santa&#8217;s journey in real time. According to the information provided by Google, the journey starts around <strong data-start=\"2294\" data-end=\"2336\">10:00 pm in the Russian Far East<\/strong> and lasts for <strong data-start=\"2359\" data-end=\"2381\">25 continuous hours<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2384\" data-end=\"2778\">The time is synchronized with international time zones, which allows the journey to be globally consistent. By the time Santa Claus begins his journey in the east of the planet, in cities like New York it is 5:00 am and in Paris it is 11:00 am. As the night progresses, Santa visits countries and continents until he completes his legendary route.  <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/lavozdeibiza.com\/en\/society\/the-draw-that-doesnt-stop-even-on-christmas-eve-what-are-the-results-of-the-christmas-triplex\/?swcfpc=1\">The draw that doesn&#8217;t stop even on Christmas Eve: what are the results of the Christmas Triplex?<\/a><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"2780\" data-end=\"3055\">The platform displays updated information on Santa&#8217;s location, the number of gifts delivered and the distance traveled.
