This square skeletal tower, painted white with a black vertical stripe, functions as the rear range light for the Chagres Crossing southbound route. It is situated on the north bank of the Panama Canal, approximately 800 meters southeast of Gamboa in Panamá Province. The light is part of a navigational system designed to guide vessels through this section of the canal. It operates in conjunction with its front range light to maintain the correct course for ships. This range light is an active aid to navigation, contributing to safe passage.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for the safe transit of southbound vessels through the Panama Canal, specifically guiding them across the Chagres River section.
