Both tourists and locals alike always have a need to get away from all the chaos of life every now and then. In situations like this, nature offers some of the finest and most peaceful holiday getaways.
One of these is the Erin Ijesha waterfalls in Osun State. Located in Erin-Ijesha, the Erin-Ijesha Waterfalls (also known as Olumirin Waterfalls)
safely tucked away in Oriade Local Government area of Osun State, Nigeria is a beauty to behold.
Though conflicting reports say the waterfalls was discovered by some hunters in 1140 AD, another revealed it was discovered by one of the daughters of Oduduwa in 1140 AD, whatever the case this stunning work of nature is one to explore.
You’re greeted by torrential water splashing on uneven rocky surfaces as you attempt to climb past the water falling and easily flowing down the rocks. The w
aterfall features seven floors on which a village called ‘Abake’ is reportedly located on!
Climbing through the rocks are some sort of adventure as it gets strenuous by the second floor; at this point the ‘steps’ created for the first floor ends so you would have to make you way around uneven rocky surfaces, carefully finding their way around the surface without tripping making it even more adventurous but certainly not for the faint-hearted.
As you progress on the steps, the water comes down even more beautiful, leaving you in awe of nature (if you stop on the first step you won’t get as beautiful a look as climbing
but then at your discretion).
There’s not a dull moment at the waterfall as there are always tourists exploring the wonder that is the place. People say no one has ever gotten to the 7th floor though.
Cascading over rugged rocks, Erin Ijesha Waterfall (Olumirin Waterfalls) provides plenty of chances for stunning photography, provided you don’t mind getting splashed. You can climb e
ach of the fall’s seven tiers–the ground here is slippery and uneven, so wear suitable footwear
Upon the dip of an enormous cleft plummets a clear river with seven levels. Erin Ijesha waterfall located in Osun state is renowned for its ambience and beautiful scenery. Everyone is welcome to splash around. In addition, it is a very safe location.
Before heading to Erin Ijesha Waterfalls, some helpful things to take along with you include slippers, climbing boots, shorts, change of clothing, swimming gear.
While you are at the waterfalls, you could attempt to climb to the last tier of the waterfall and enjoy the beautiful scenery.
