Conchupata Lighthouse, National monument in Oruro, Bolivia.

The Conchupata Lighthouse stands at the intersection of Herrera and La Plata streets, offering views across the city of Oruro and surrounding areas.

On November 7, 1851, during the presidency of Manuel Isidoro Belzu, the national emblem of Bolivia was first raised at the Conchupata Lighthouse.

The lighthouse marks a central point during the annual Carnival of Oruro, where traditional dancers perform their routes through the city streets.

Multiple hotels, including Hotel Flores Plaza and Hotel Eden, provide accommodations within walking distance of the Conchupata Lighthouse.

The structure, previously known as Corrralpata, serves as both a navigational aid and a strategic viewpoint for observing city celebrations.
