Faro Punta Delgada A former lighthouse and naval base on the wild Peninsula
Valdes with excellent wildlife viewing opportunities including whale, elephent
seal and penguin watching. Faro Punta Delgada Hotel stands in a magically
clear atmosphere besides an alert lighthouse. Located at a strategic spot, it
protects vessels from sandbars. These sandbars form a wide dark green
stone coast that, when covered by tides, becomes extremely dangerous for
sailors navigating the untamed South Atlantic Ocean. The lighthouse has life
of its own and the spirit of pioneers of the Argentine Army remains inside, the
spirit of those who first drifted along these lands filled with passion and
adventure. At night, the lighthouse is the star. Its light beam goes through
the mist giving a glimpse of magic and guiding vessels in the dark since 1905.
