About Punta Tucapel Lighthouse
Also known as: Punta Tucapel (Lebu)
The Punta Tucapel lighthouse, established in 1896, guides vessels into the Río Lebu entrance from the south. The current structure is a 4-meter tall cylindrical fiberglass tower, painted white with a single red horizontal band. It stands 8 meters above sea level. The lighthouse emits a single white flash every 12 seconds, visible for 9.7 nautical miles. The site is accessible by boat and is open to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is significant for guiding local fishing fleets and commercial vessels into the port of Lebu, marking the south side of the Río Lebu entrance.
