About Cerro Azul Lighthouse
This concrete lighthouse, built in 1974, stands 11 meters tall with a focal height of 128 meters. Its cylindrical tower features a conical base and is painted with black and white horizontal bands. The light emits one white flash every 10 seconds, visible for nearly 28 nautical miles. The structure rises from a conical concrete base and is topped with a lantern. The lighthouse is located on a high cape about 15 kilometers northwest of San Vicente de Cañete, overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The site is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The Cerro Azul Lighthouse marks the high cape at Cerro Azul, providing a significant visual reference for vessels navigating the Peruvian Pacific coast.
