Ikogosi Wonder

(IKOGOSI WARM SPRING)

By Sheriff Dada

Ikogosi is a small town located in Ekiti state, Nigeria. The town has grown to become one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nigeria. The reason for this popularity is not far-fetched. Ikogosi boasts of one of the most unique and fascinating natural wonders in Africa – the Ikogosi Warm Spring.

This natural attraction is a warm spring that can be found bubbling up from beneath the ground with an average temperature of 70°C. However, what makes it truly exceptional is its location, as it meets with a cold spring creating two distinct streams of water running adjacent to each other without mixing. This phenomenon has made Ikogosi Warm Spring and Cold Spring one of the top-rated tourist attractions in Nigeria.

Visitors who come to see the ‘Ikogosi Wonder’ have access to recreational activities like swimming, hiking, picnicking, and camping.
