I have heard a lot about Erin Ijesa waterfall but I was actually stuned by the wonders of mother nature when I visited. It 's a lovely place for nature lovers, serene environment and a place with fresh air. The whispering waterfall is cold and refreshing to the body. The Waterfall is housed in an environment with magnificent scape; with beauty that greets upon arrival. We were welcomed by drummers. It has seven cascades. In a search for the source of the water in company of other tourists we spent almost an hour climbing upwards with tree stumps as support. After the climb we relaxed by the soothing water splash; the sound and flow of the torrent water is refreshing and relaxing. It is preferable to come along with Hiking shoes, change of clothes for people who want to enjoy the water at the base. Though this place got seven cascades, we were able to get to the fourth, 'cos the other floors are breathe tasking. Btw: Make sure you have lots of time. To enjoy this place, you shouldn’t be in a hurry.

A natural tourist site. Emphasis on the word Natural. It could be so much better if it finds l some investment and governmental Goodwill. But I digress. The mountain is massive. But there are stairs to climb it up to a point. After that it's just pure hiking. Climbing rocks to get to higher ground. The waterfalls are so beautiful. They can be seen on multiple levels and that's nice The water hits you with so much force if you're under it. I heard someone describe it as Strong as a massage. All in all, a fun experience. Just wish they'd make more safety oriented decisions and choices
