About Puerto Pyrámides Lighthouse
The Puerto Pyrámides lighthouse is a 6-meter tall, cylindrical concrete structure with a square base and an enclosed lower section. It is located on a hillside above Puerto Pyrámides, the only settlement on the Península Valdés. The light is positioned 87 meters above sea level and produces a white flash every 3 seconds, with a geographic range of 23.4 nautical miles. The tower is colored red with one white vertical stripe. Access to the site is permitted, but the tower remains inaccessible. Puerto Madryn, the closest port facilities, is situated 1.7 kilometers distant.
Why it matters: This lighthouse marks the entrance to Puerto Pyrámides, the only harbor on the Península Valdés. Its location on the hillside provides a visible reference point for ships navigating near the peninsula's southern shore.
