1. 5.0 Arinta Waterfall (1 review)
   - Pure lust
   Friday: 12:00 PM - 6:00 PM Waterfalls
   
   
   Arinta Waterfalls is located in Ipole-Iloro town in Ekiti-State, separated from Ikogosi-Ekiti by an arm of the Effon-Alaaye anticline. A smooth and well-tarred road branches off the main road that leads to Ikogosi Warm Spring and ascends the steep anticline, beyond which lies the rustic Ipole-Iloro enclave. "Somewhere in the countryside of Ekiti, tucked away in a huge crevice within the massive Effon-Alaaye's anticline, boulders of quartzite clog water-wet foot slopes, glistening in the excited mid-day sun. Thick forests loom above the crevice, kissing the sun-clad skies at a beautiful skyline. The sound of plunging waters and the smell of dense moisture filled the air. I was held spell-bound by my first glimpse of the alluring waterfalls. Large rock boulders and giant fern vegetation adorned the foot-slopes and plunge pool of the waterfall. In an instant, my soul became overwhelmed with awe as I beheld one of the most beautiful sights in Ekiti land- the seven cascades of Arinta Waterfalls If you are a tourist and you are yet to visit Arinta Waterfalls, then you are missing a great deal. Arinta Waterfalls is located at Ipole Iloro, Ekiti State it is a few minutes to Ikogosi Warm Spring.
