- Segunda planta: it is located a 115 metros, and it is home to a restaurant and a spectacular observation deck.

On this activity subiremos a pie hasta el primer y segundo piso. Once there, we will take a ascensor hasta la tercera planta.
Climbing on foot to the first and second floors
At the indicated time, we will meet at the alrededores de la Torre Eiffel and from there, we will take a short walk to the monumento más visitado de París.
Once we pass through the security checks, we will begin the subida a pie por las escaleras de la Torre Eiffel alongside a guía en español. When we reach the primera planta, located at 57 meters above ground, we will enjoy hermosas vistas de París from its various observation points. We will also admire a segmento de la escalera de caracol de la torre, which came close to being lost.
After this first stop, we will continue climbing on foot up the Iron Lady to the segunda planta de la Torre Eiffel. From the second floor, situated at 115 meters above ground, we will take in magnificent panoramic views of the Campo de Marte and of the plaza del Trocadero.
Elevator ride to the third floor
After visiting the tower's intermediate level, we will take a ascensor panorámico that will carry us from the second floor up to the cima de la Torre Eiffel, located on the tercer piso, at 276 metros de altura. On this última planta we will see a recreation of the oficina de Gustave Eiffel, historical maps, and a scale model of the tower dating from 1889.
After visiting the parte más alta de la Torre Eiffel, we will take the elevator back down to the second level. From there, we will walk down to one of the four pillars of the Eiffel Tower, where this two-hour activity will come to an end.
