About Río Coig Lighthouse
The Río Coig Lighthouse, operated by the Argentine Navy, stands 78 meters above sea level. It emits two white flashes every 25 seconds, visible for 13 nautical miles. The lighthouse is a concrete cylinder structure, painted with horizontal red and white bands, and topped with a red equipment room. It is situated on the northern tip of the Coig estuary, an area recognized as the sole break in the coastline between Puerto Santa Cruz and Cape Buen Tiempo. The structure is located approximately 80 kilometers north of Río Gallegos in the Santa Cruz province.
Why it matters: This lighthouse was constructed to aid navigation for vessels calling at Puerto Coig, which served as the primary export point for the region's sheep production.
