El Faro Los Morrillos, Cabo Rojo PR

This is what was behind me when I took the photograph from my previous post. Known by locals as el Faro, this lighthouse was built in 1882. Originally I was going to post two images from this 2013 trip to Puerto Rico, but I found one more I would like to share, so stay tuned.

We are back in Puerto Rico for a couple of posts. Located on top of 200-foot limestone cliffs overlooking the Caribbean Sea, the Cabo Rojo Lighthouse marks the south-west tip of Puerto Rico. The lighthouse is simply called El Faro by locals.
