Yokahú Tower
Torre Yokahú
A stone round tower built in 1963 beside the road into El Yunque, with views from the top over the rainforest, the Luquillo coast and islands in the distance.
Yokahú Tower stands about 21 meters tall and is named after a Taíno deity. It is the first lookout you reach after entering El Yunque on Route 191, only a few steps from the parking area. Climb the spiral staircase inside to the top and you can take in the rainforest-covered valleys, the Atlantic coastline and, on clear days, Culebra and Vieques. It is free and works well as either the first or last stop on a rainforest visit. Parking spaces are limited in peak season, so arrive early.
Opening hours
Approx. 09:00–17:00 (follow forestry bureau notices)
