About Punta Colorada Lighthouse
Located about 100 km south of Las Grutas, the Punta Colorada light serves vessels approaching an iron ore loading facility. Its white light emits two flashes every 10 seconds. The light is mounted on a large industrial building rather than a traditional tower. This coastal area, which includes a port just 0.4 km away, has recently experienced renewed activity following investment in its former iron ore loading operations. The focal height of the light is 54 meters, with a geographic range of 19.3 nautical miles.
Why it matters: This light is essential for the safe navigation of large cargo vessels engaged in iron ore transport, directly supporting the operations of a recently revived industrial facility at Punta Colorada.
