About Central America Lighthouses Lighthouse
This skeletal steel tower, standing 28 meters tall, aids navigation on Guatemala's Pacific coast at the entrance to Puerto Quetzal. It is painted with horizontal bands of red and white. The light emits a white flash every 5 seconds, visible for over 15 nautical miles. The tower's triangular structure is a distinctive feature against the coastline. It is situated on the Pacific coast of Guatemala, guiding vessels into the nation's principal port.
Why it matters: This light is indispensable for commercial vessels and cruise ships navigating into Puerto Quetzal, marking the entrance to Guatemala's main Pacific port and distinguishing it from the previous open roadstead at Puerto San José.
