Cape Horn Lighthouse
The world's southernmost lighthouse is a 4 m lighthouse made out of fibreglass. It was inscribed in 1962 and while it may not have anything distinctive, its location sure makes it important. Today, it's only staffed by navy and weather station personnel.
Cape Horn Memorial (The Albatross)
A memorial about 200 m south-southwest of the lighthouse, erected in memory of the many who have lost their lives near Cape Horn. The sculpture is named The Albatross due to the albatross at the very centre of the sculpture.
The park is only open in the summer months between October and April. There are no public ferries from other Chilean cities, but some private operators do occasionally land at Cape Horn.
