Would you like to escape from Town, or you wish to plan an adventure tour
I want to share some details of interesting destinations to visit within the south western part of Nigeria.

First case study

ERIN-IJESHA WATER FALL.
It’s easy to lose touch with nature, especially when you reside in a city as busy as Lagos, the stress of the city life would always deny its inhabitants the awesomeness of what nature has to offer, hence it’s advisable to once in a while, step back and explore the beauty of nature in places like Erin Ijesha water fall.
If you wish to interact with nature in its most preserved form, Erin Ijesha water fall (also called Olumirin water fall), located in Ijesha, Osun state Nigeria is definitely your preferred destination. A serene environment coupled with the soothing atmosphere created by the freshness of water, it’s no doubt that nature is evident here at its peak.
The water fall has seven unique levels of cascades, with the water flowing lazily as it descends through each level of the cascade and picking up velocity and pressure towards the lowest level, hence if you observe the water from the lowest level, it can be liken to a massive shower of rain on a slippery mountain. The gushing out of water from the upper cascade down to the lower level in this scenery can only be described as breathtaking. Each level of the mountain provides a spectacular view of nature, the higher you go, the spectacular the view. The most intriguing level of the cascade is the seventh cascade; however most tourists don’t get to see the seventh cascade due to the fear of height.
If the water and mountain is not enough to excite you, it’s also worthy of mention, that the presence of fresh water prawns in the water and a mild forest around the water is another attraction to this fall. Even though only few tourists get to reach the highest cascade of the waterfall, if you’re tad as curious as I am, you would definitely find it interesting to hear that people live on the seventh cascade of the fall. Wouldn’t it be amazing to meet and interact with people that live on a mountain as high as that? To probably ask them how they live in isolation; separated from town

It takes approximately one hour to ascend the entire seven cascades, it should however be noted that the higher you go the difficult it is to climb up the cascade, due to the absence of a standard stairs.
The second cascade is definitely the most gigantic of all the seven cascades, with a flat plain holding up the water and forming a small pool. Some tourist with great courage do swim in this small pool, the coolness of the water is something that would attract anybody, even an innocent soul.
Once payment is made at the entrance, a tour guide is assigned to each group, the guide is responsible for giving detailed information about the site, and providing navigation instruction around the water fall, the guide are very welcoming and they provide any extra level of relaxation in the waterfall, making tourist feel welcomed.
Other exciting activities around the water fall, other than sightseeing include:

Swimming: It’s practically impossible to visit Erin Ijesha waterfall without swimming, even if you’re not a pro, you’d get yourself soaked in the water before you know it. The coldness of the water is highly tempting.

Rock Climbing: Not everybody would get to climb mountain Everest, but if climbing is one of the thing you love doing, you would get to do a lot of rock climbing in Erin Ijesha water fall. Climbing the seven cascades might just be your own version of mountain Everest.

Birds and game watching: If you love observing animals and how they interact with their environment, you would definitely watch a lot of birds here.
