Punta Curaumilla lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Valparaíso, Chile.

The white cylindrical tower of Punta Curaumilla lighthouse rises 4 meters above the rocky cliffs along the Pacific Ocean coast of central Chile.

The lighthouse began operations in 1893 as part of a network of maritime safety structures built to protect ships navigating near the Chilean coastline.

This lighthouse represents the maritime traditions of Valparaíso region, where generations of keepers maintained the light before its automation in 1995.

The lighthouse emits a white flash every 15 seconds with a range of 16 nautical miles, guiding vessels approaching the busy port of Valparaíso.

Located at 84 meters above sea level, the lighthouse serves as a landfall light for ships crossing between Easter Island and continental Chile.
