Yokahú Tower

Yokahu observation tower

Yokahú Tower is an observation tower within El Yunque National Forest on the island of Puerto Rico[1]

The Yokahú Tower is one of the two observation towers located in the park. Constructed in 1963,[2] it is widely considered the better of the two with regard to the view offered. The other tower, Mount Britton Tower, is situated at a higher altitude. Owing to this, the view from it is frequently obscured by cloud cover. When it comes to convenience, Yokahú Tower again has an advantage over the Mount Britton Tower. Yokahú Tower has a parking lot nearby whereas the Britton Tower is in the middle of the forest.[3]
