Punta Delgada Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse at Valdes Peninsula, Argentina

The brick-colored conical tower rises 14 meters above the cliffs, directing ships through the waters of the Golfo Nuevo with three white flashes.

The lighthouse began its maritime operations on May 1st, 1905, marking a crucial navigation point for vessels traversing the Patagonian coast.

The lighthouse complex represents Argentine maritime heritage and serves as a connection point between land-based infrastructure and oceanic navigation routes.

The former keeper's quarters now function as a hotel and restaurant, providing accommodation for visitors who want to observe the nearby elephant seal colony.

The lighthouse beam reaches 54 kilometers across the ocean, while its position 114 meters above sea level makes it visible from considerable distances.
