About Cabo Raper Lighthouse
Located at the westernmost point of the Taitao Peninsula in Southern Chile, this lighthouse stands 14 meters tall. Its focal plane is 61 meters above sea level, providing a geographic range of 18 nautical miles. The structure is made of reinforced concrete. It emits a white flash every 5 seconds, a signal designed to aid navigation. Construction began in 1900 under engineer George Slight and was completed 14 years later.
Why it matters: Commissioned in 1914, the lighthouse enhances maritime safety in a challenging navigational area by warning vessels of the cape and hazardous waters.
