yokahu observation tower

LeaveNothing

登上螺旋形楼梯，在塔顶可以俯瞰整个雨林和远处的加勒比海，塔上还有投币式望远镜，不过也没什么太多好看，只是能把山顶看得更清楚，塔建得好像格林童话里关公主的那种塔一样

Go to the top and look out... wow!! Breath taking views. The climb up is very easy and is less than 100 steps.

Was amazing view in the clouds, bespokelm, the tour company took us there, has a lengthy climb on stairs to the top but worth it, my 10 year old was amazed.

I believe that it is around 99 steps to the top of the tower but it is worth the walk. Excellent views of the rainforest. It was the highlight of our trip to the rainforest.

We spent a full day in El Yunque hiking and stopped to climb the tower. There is no fee for the tower. The stairs are not at all taxing if you are moderately fit (certainly easier than some of the hiking). There are open windows along the way which make for some nice photo opportunities.At the top you have great panoramic views of not only the rain forest but out toward the ocean. While at the top a woman announced to all of us (maybe 8) standing up there that it was her husband's birthday and we all sung him an impromptu happy birthday song!The whole stop at the tower is probably 15-30 minutes depending on how long you want to linger on the view.

The Yokahu Observation Tower is free and there aren't too many steps. The views are breathtaking, especially the clouds/mists over the greenery. There are also bathrooms at the bottom level of the tower. Worth a stop and climb up!

The walk itself was not at all taxing and the views were spectacular! I took some wonderful photographs, which is more testimony to the landscapes than to my skills.

This is a standard observation tower. I found the steps easy to navigate. These were not too steep or narrow as some towers are. Bring binoculars if you can because the view is fantastic. You may even see some hawks.

This tower has 92 steps, but so worth the hike up them. Beautiful view - and on a clear day you can see St. Thomas Island. If you are not able to go to the very top of the tower there are windows along the way with amazing views - go as high up as you can. Even on the ground around the tower the view is amazing.

My wife and I climbed to the top of the tower with Alex, our tour guide. Neat looking tower, great views from the top, fairly easy climb to the top. Has a little gift shop at the bottom, some snacks and cool drinks available. Definitely a must stop when touring the rainforest.

This tower is an architectural wonder and the view of Luquillo is great. Wish the road into the park was in a little better shape.

This tower is a pretty easy climb and gives you a great view of the rainforest above the tree tops and a great view of Luquillo Beach at the coast. It is fun to sit there and watch all of the clouds swoop in an out of the area.

make this one of your first stops, the climb to the top is fairly easy and the visits is unbelievable!

The observation tower gave a whole new perspective to the rain forest. The views are beautiful and it feels so beautifully tropical. I wouldn't suggest going to the Rain Forest without visiting the tower.

This is a quick hitter, hike up to the top, take your pictures, soak it in, and make your way back down. The view is great and 360 degrees but there are higher lookouts if you have the time to hike! Definitely not the main attraction in El Yunque but worth stopping at since it is on the way to the Falls.
