About Moronas Lighthouse
This white, cylindrical concrete tower, built in 1929, stands 16 meters high on a stepped base. It is situated mid-river, about 35 kilometers east of Manaus in the Amazonas region. The lighthouse emits a single green flash every three seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself remains closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse is essential for guiding vessels through a key passage for ships navigating between this point and the Pedra do Jacaré lighthouse.
