Rio Negro Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in El Cóndor, Argentina.
The cylindrical structure rises 16.5 meters high with a hexagonal house base and contains 64 steps leading to the rotating optics system.
The Rio Negro Lighthouse, inaugurated in 1887 by Governor Lorenzo Vintter, marked the first continental lighthouse installation across the Patagonian coastline.
The lighthouse stands as a testament to maritime navigation development in Argentina, guiding vessels through the southern waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
Located 30 kilometers from Viedma city, the lighthouse projects its beam 16 nautical miles across the ocean from its position 43.5 meters above sea level.
The surrounding cliffs house the largest colony of barranquero parrots, which create nests within the natural sandstone formations near the lighthouse.
