It rises over 1,830 meters above sea level and boasts vibrant green vegetation and a temperate climate. The route to the plateau and the canyons is already an experience itself, with a road that twists and turns like a snake, and natural springs lining the path all the way up to the plateau.
5. Ikogosi Warm Spring Resort
On the western part of Eikiti State is Ikogosi, a tiny and tranquil Nigerian town known for its rich local traditions. At the heart of it is a warm spring that has catapulted the place to global attention. The Ikogosi Warm Spring is particularly interesting for having both a warm spring and a cold spring running side by side. Experts call it a geological wonder, having both cold and hot water flowing from the same rock formation. The Ikogosi Warm Spring is the only one of its kind in the world.
