About Río Luján Lighthouse
Also known as: Río Luján (San Isidro)
A red, square skeletal concrete tower stands 9.5 meters tall on the south side of the Río Luján entrance. The structure's focal height reaches 14.5 meters, casting a red light that flashes once every 5 seconds. This aid has a geographic range of 11.7 nautical miles. An earlier navigational light at this station was a ruined concrete skeletal tower situated nearby. The site is accessible to the public, though the tower itself is closed.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is essential for guiding local and recreational vessels safely into the Río Luján, a key tributary of the Río de la Plata, particularly for members of the Club Náutico San Isidro. It specifically warns mariners about the river entrance, preventing groundings and ensuring smooth passage in a busy boating area.
