Chuí Lighthouse, Lighthouse in Barra do Chuí, Brazil.
The concrete cylindrical tower rises 30 meters high with a double balcony and features red and white horizontal bands on its lantern section.
The original metal skeletal tower from 1910 was replaced in 1941 due to corrosion issues, leading to the construction of the current concrete structure.
The lighthouse marks the southernmost point of Brazilian territory, serving as a symbol of national identity at the border with Uruguay.
The lighthouse emits two white flashes every 25 seconds, with its beam reaching 46 nautical miles across the South Atlantic Ocean waters.
Located just one kilometer from Uruguay, this lighthouse guides ships along a dangerous 230-kilometer stretch of coastline from Rio Grande.
