Serenity - Idanre Hills - Clear skies and awesome natural landscape. It is no wonder that this beauty inspired the Nobel Laureate Wole Soyinka's longest poem 'Idanre' in Idanre and other poems (1967). Located in Ondo state, Nigeria, it is the home of the endangered hyrax.
Home of many cultural sites and ancient festivals, it is under consideration as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A geological wonder. Said to be the only one of its kind discovered in the world: where warm and cold springs flow side by side without mixing. The warm spring flows out from a rock while the cold flows from the dark forest below. This phenomenon has inspired myths.
