2. Visit the Rincón Lighthouse Park (El Faro)

The Rincón Lighthouse, known as “El Faro,” stands as an iconic landmark and must-visit destination for tourists exploring Rincón for the first time. This historic structure offers not only breathtaking panoramic views but also the perfect spot for capturing memorable photographs and taking in the stunning surroundings. While the lighthouse itself is not usually open for interior tours, the experience of visiting this picturesque site and enjoying the cool sea breeze is one that shouldn’t be missed.

Throughout the winter season, specifically from January to March, with the peak occurring in February, the park transforms into a premier location for whale-watching. As the humpback whales migrate back to the North Atlantic each summer, they make their way past the Rincon coastline, making it a  truly remarkable spectacle that adds an extra layer of enchantment to the coastal beauty of Rincon.
