Location & Light Range
About Bahía Málaga C Lighthouse
This active navigational aid consists of a square, white skeletal tower constructed of steel, standing 15 meters tall. It is mounted on a platform supported by piles, a design suited for its marine location off Juanchaco. The light emits a single white flash every 12 seconds, visible for 11.9 nautical miles. The lighthouse is located 16.1 kilometers from Buenaventura, Colombia's busiest Pacific port. While the tower is closed to the public, the site itself is open for visitors.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for safe navigation within Bahía Málaga, a critical waterway for commercial and fishing vessels along Colombia's Pacific coast.
