Recalada

The Recalada a Bahía Blanca Lighthouse stands as a guiding beacon in Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. As one of the tallest lighthouses in South America, it reaches an impressive height of 67 meters. Established in 1906, this lighthouse has been a critical navigational point for ships sailing the South Atlantic, marking the entrance to the Bahía Blanca.

Constructed with a skeletal steel framework, the Recalada Lighthouse is both an operational aid to navigation and a historical monument. Its light can be seen from up to 24 nautical miles away, ensuring that maritime traffic can safely pass through the often treacherous waters off the Argentine coast.

Despite its practical purpose, the Recalada Lighthouse has also become an attraction for those interested in maritime history and coastal engineering. While access to the lighthouse may be limited due to its operational status, its imposing structure and the role it plays in ensuring safe passage for vessels make it a point of interest for visitors to the region.
