About
El Rincón Light is an active lighthouse in the Buenos Aires Province, Argentina. At a height of 203 feet (62 m) it is the nineteenth tallest "traditional lighthouse" in the world, and one of the tallest concrete lighthouses in the world. Located about 30 miles (48 km) northeast of Pedro Luro on the Península Verde, it guards a principal entrance to the seaport of Bahía Blanca. Two stamps featuring the lighthouse were created, one in 2006 and the other one in 2010.
