About Rawson Department Lighthouses Lighthouse
This black, square skeletal steel tower stands 10 meters tall, with its light positioned 97 meters above sea level. It emits a white flash every 7 seconds and has a geographic range of 24.6 nautical miles. The lighthouse is situated atop a steep cliff approximately 800 meters south of Punta Conscriptos, about 30 kilometers southeast of Puerto Madryn. The current structure was built in 1986, replacing an original light established in 1929. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: The lighthouse aids mariners navigating the waters near Punta Conscriptos, a notable promontory southeast of Puerto Madryn, helping to avoid groundings on the cliffs.
