Punta Corona Lighthouse, Maritime navigation beacon in Ancud, Chile
Punta Corona Lighthouse is a white cylindrical tower situated on a rocky point near Ancud on the Chilean coast. The structure emits light signals to guide ships safely through the local waters and can be seen from considerable distances offshore.
The lighthouse was established in 1859 and became part of Chile's network to improve maritime safety along southern waters. It marks a period when navigation aids were systematized along the South American coast.
The lighthouse represents Chile's commitment to maritime safety, operating under the supervision of the Chilean Navy through its Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service.
The lighthouse sits on a rocky promontory and is visible from the shore. Access can be difficult depending on weather conditions and tidal conditions, so checking local conditions before visiting is advisable.
The structure incorporates a racon signal system that activates every 30 seconds, supplementing its main lighting function with radio-based navigation assistance.
