History
The lighthouse was originally constructed in 1900 at Punta Coles, a headland near Ilo, but in 1973 it was dismantled and reconstructed in Miraflores. It is situated in the appropriately named Parque el Faro, one of a number of popular parks above the cliffs in the city, which commemorates a century of Peruvian navigation.
It consists of an 22 metres (72 ft) iron tower, with a gallery and lantern, painted a very dark blue, with two white bands.
With a focal height of 108 metres (354 ft) above the sea, its light can be seen for 18 nautical miles, and consists of a pattern of three flashes of white light, over a period of fifteen seconds.
