About Matarani Range Rear Lighthouse
The Matarani Range Rear light was first lit in 1994. It is a 14-meter tall square skeletal tower constructed of concrete, standing on a large square concrete base. The tower displays a green light with a single flash every 3 seconds. From its position 67 meters above sea level, the light has a geographic range of 21 nautical miles. The structure is located on a bluff above the harbor of Matarani, in the lee of Punta Islay, and is situated 0.6 kilometers from the nearest port.
Why it matters: This range light is indispensable for guiding ships through the approach channel into Matarani harbor, a key Peruvian port. Its green flash provides a precise alignment for mariners, preventing groundings and ensuring efficient navigation in a busy commercial waterway.
