Faro Isla de Flores, Lighthouse in Montevideo, Uruguay.

Faro Isla de Flores is a lighthouse located on an island in the Río de la Plata featuring a cylindrical stone tower painted with white and red radial stripes. The structure rises 19.5 meters and is surrounded by white support buildings at ground level.

The original structure was designed by engineer Bernardo Lecocq in 1791 and was later replaced by a new construction that began operating on January 1, 1828. This renovation reflected the growing importance of river navigation in the Río de la Plata.

The island is home to thirty bird species, along with gull nests and rabbits. Its only residents are a lighthouse keeper and two assistants, who rotate every fifteen days. The lighthouse itself was honoured by Correo Uruguayo with a stamp issued on 10 February 2004, code 2004-04-S, face value 10 Uruguayan pesos.

Visiting conditions depend on the season and weather, as the island is most accessible during calmer periods on the water. It helps to check local conditions beforehand and bring appropriate clothing for the windy environment typical of river settings.
