"Faro del Fin del Mundo" lighthouse at the end of the world


Since I was a child I was fascinated by lighthouses, and I remember that in Geography classes when we studied about Tierra del Fuego and I saw pictures of the lighthouse I said to my self I have to know this place one day.

The "Faro del Fin del Mundo", the lighthouse at the end of the world as it is commonly known but the real name is San Juan Salvamento Lighthouse, is to the northeast of the Isla de los Estados, south of Argentina. It has only a height of 6 meters but is 60 meters above sea level.
