Isla Guanapes Sur
Peru
This light was one of four ordered from Chance Brothers in 1908 however this one dud not come into use until 1930 however I have been unable to find out why.
The lantern was removed in 1973 and a modern light fitted.
The lighthouse is situated on the top of a small island 40 miles west of Salaverry in Northern Peru which is only accesible by boat.
