About Pedra do Jacaré Lighthouse
This cylindrical concrete tower, standing 16 meters tall, was built in 2016 near Manaus, Brazil. It sits mid-river, about 32 kilometers east of the city. The lighthouse emits a single red flash every 3 seconds, visible for nearly 12 nautical miles. Its current structure is mounted on a stepped base. The lighthouse has a history of rebuilding, first after a ferry collision in 2011, then after being toppled in 2014, with the present tower completed in 2016.
Why it matters: This navigational aid is essential for river traffic near Manaus, marking a key point on the busy waterways and warning of potential hazards.
