The view extends not only to the island of Flores, but also to the opposite bank and the chain of hills behind it.
Please take off your shoes before entering the tower to protect the paintings on the steps.

Hiking

It has a very beautiful view of the island of Flores, it is worth the climb to the viewpoint. It is free, in the rainy season there is mud and puddles on the path to the viewpoint, wear appropriate shoes.

Hiking

Magnificent views of Flores, the lake and the surrounding area. The climb is doable, although strenuous; We had actually just planned a walk along the lakeshore, but it was under water - but we could do it even with flip-flops, although sturdy shoes are recommended
