A path that winds between hills takes the visitor to Punta Pelícanos, with a spectacular view of the bay. The presence of an old cannon (1868), brought to the country by Carlos Lambert, a prosperous industrialist of the time, for the defense of the port in the War of the Pacific (1879) concentrates the interest in the area. Hence the origin of the name Fort Lambert. Nearby stands the Punta de Tortuga Lighthouse, inaugurated in 1868, one of the oldest in the country and of vital importance for the orientation of sailors stationed in Coquimbana Bay.
