Faro El Cuyo
El Cuyo Lighthouse
The view from the top of the lighthouse affords sweeping vistas of the ocean, the jungles, and the town itself. The lighthouse is generally closed and locked up tighter than the proverbial drum, but if you stop at the nearby Capitaneria office, you can ask to go up and they will generally lend you the key.
