Querandí Lighthouse, Maritime lighthouse in Villa Gesell Partido, Argentina.
Description
Querandí Lighthouse is a cylindrical tower in Villa Gesell Partido that rises 54 meters above the surrounding landscape. The structure serves as a navigation aid for ships traveling along the Atlantic coast, helping vessels orient themselves at sea.
History
The lighthouse was built in 1922 and marks an important point in the maritime history of Buenos Aires Province. The structure has guided ships safely for more than a century, becoming a symbol of the region's coastal navigation tradition.
Culture
The lighthouse sits within a protected natural area where visitors experience how the coast functions as a living landscape. The place reflects the importance of maritime navigation to the region's identity and daily rhythms.
Practical
Reaching the observation deck involves climbing roughly 276 steps of a spiral staircase, which requires reasonable physical fitness. Visitors should prepare for the height and narrow spaces before attempting this climb.
Did you know?
The surrounding sand dunes offer sandboarding opportunities, a surprising recreation that few visitors expect to find near a historic lighthouse. Guided excursions from Mar de las Pampas often combine both experiences into a single outing.
