About Cerro Santa Ana Lighthouse
Also known as: [Cerro Santa Ana]
Located on a hill west of the Río Guayas, overlooking Guayaquil, this 19-meter cylindrical tower was built and first lit in 2002. It is painted with a blue and white spiral pattern. The structure includes a lantern and gallery. The light is white with a characteristic of F W, visible for 23.3 nautical miles. Reaching 86 meters above sea level, the lighthouse is situated 3.6 kilometers from Guayaquil's port. The site is open to the public.
Why it matters: This lighthouse serves as a cultural and tourism point for Guayaquil, rather than for maritime safety. Its appearance matches the city's flag, acting as a symbol of local identity and drawing visitors who can enjoy expansive views from the location.
