Puno Lighthouse, Maritime navigation beacon in Puno, Peru
The white painted lighthouse structure stands at the edge of Lake Titicaca, providing guidance to vessels navigating through South America's largest freshwater lake.
The lighthouse establishment marked a significant development in maritime safety for Lake Titicaca, enabling safer navigation for trade and transportation across Peru's waters.
Local fishermen incorporate the lighthouse into their daily rituals, considering it a symbol of protection while practicing traditional fishing methods on Lake Titicaca.
The lighthouse remains operational throughout the year, with regular maintenance ensuring its light beam reaches across the waters of Lake Titicaca at night.
This navigation aid operates at 3,812 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest elevation lighthouses in the Western Hemisphere.
