Faro Los Morrillos de Cabo Rojo
Faro Los Morrillos de Cabo Rojo, Historic lighthouse on limestone cliffs in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico.
Los Morrillos lighthouse rises 12 meters above stark white limestone cliffs that plunge 200 feet into the Caribbean Sea at Puerto Rico's southwestern tip.
Spanish authorities completed this neoclassical maritime beacon in 1882 to guide vessels through the Mona Passage between the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean.
Three families, including two lighthouse keepers and an engineer, maintained the maritime operations and lived within the brick and mortar structure until automation.
The lighthouse welcomes visitors Thursday through Tuesday from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with a free trolley service connecting the parking area to the entrance.
The lighthouse structure incorporates a French-manufactured Sautter Lemonnier lens system housed in a lantern room made of cast iron, copper, and glass components.
