Punta Delgada Lighthouse is located in the Southeastern end of the
Peninsula Valdes. Its name belong to the
geographical feature, discovered and baptized
by the Spanish navigatorīs Jose Goicochea,
at command of the San Francisco
de Paulaīs ship.
Its construction began in September 1904
under the supervision of the Hydrographic
Section, Lights and Beacons (at date Hydrography Naval Service), culminating at April
1905. Beginning to work on May 1st. of the
same year. The direction was in charge of
the Inspector of Lighthouses, Lieutenant Pablo Texera Garcia and Guillermo Cray, (Lighthouse mechanics) accompanied by
a group of workers.
In the beginning the Lighthouse School
Guards worked on those dependencies.
Originally, the beam of the white light was made by the
petroleum steam, with mantillas of 55 m/m width,
AUER brand, burned with vaporizer upper tube
(on its old model), a 2 bronze tanks battery
for compressed air and petroleum, although
at the present time works with electrical
energy produced by a generator.
On the shore of the lighthouse dwuell one
of more important marine elephants colony of the
Patagonia. Also, in the place where the lighthouse works there is an
important international hotel-restaurant.
We arrived at the lighthouse through the Provincial Route #2 from Puerto Piramide, right to the east covering 70 km.(45 milles).
