Ascent to the tower via the small mountain path is challenging, sure-footedness and a head for heights are essential!
Very warm in summer (the dark basalt rock heats up a lot). The tower provides shade for a small picnic on one of the stone blocks in the afternoon.

The ascent from the south, i.e., from the hiking trail between San José and Los Escullos, is very steep, not easy to find, and requires some scrambling in places.
The ascent from the north is somewhat easier and easier to find, as it is better marked with cairns. This ascent is also indicated on most maps.
