Preguiças Lighthouse, Maritime navigation aid in Mandacaru, Brazil.
The cylindrical white and red lighthouse rises 35 meters above the Preguiças River, featuring four horizontal black bands along its structure.
The lighthouse began its operation in 1940 with a third-order Fresnel lens, providing essential navigation guidance for vessels along the Brazilian coast.
The structure stands as a representation of Brazilian maritime engineering from the early twentieth century, marking the development of coastal infrastructure.
Visitors can access the lighthouse through boat trips from Barreirinhas on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays to explore the facility and surrounding area.
The lighthouse offers views of both the Preguiças River and Lençois Maranhenses National Park, with its sand dunes and seasonal freshwater lagoons.
