The San Pio Lighthouse is located at the southern tip of Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego, sitting on a rocky cliff overlooking the Beagle Channel. To reach it you cross a unique variety of landscapes found only at these latitudes, combining vast meadows, forests, cobblestone beaches, and peat bogs, along with the chance to constantly observe rich marine and land biodiversity.
