This warm spring runs down a hilly landscape where it forms a confluence with another cold spring from an adjoining hill and merges into one continuous stream.
Located in Ekiti State, it is an awe-inspiring sight where two springs flow side by side. But while one is cold, the other is very warm
The evergreen tall trees which surround the spring provide the canopy under which visitors relax. The people of Ikogosi worship the goddess of the water and have strong belief in the myth around it.
The undulating landscape adds natural beauty to the scenery. The chemistry of the Ikogosi Warm Spring in South West Nigeria has been studied. Four out of the six warm spring primary sources show close similarity in temperature, pH, dissolved solids, suspended solid, alkalinity, hardness, and trace metals. All measured values are within classification as fresh water and WHO standards
This is the account of an Irish catholic Bishop Rt. Rev. Richard Burke who has lived in Nigeria for thirty years. He said “I believe there is nowhere in the world where cold and warm water meets, except at the Ikogosi spring. Any other one would be man-made, which is artificial. Ikogosi is a miracle of nature and a sacred place where God exhibited his power of creativity”.
Just like the catholic Bishop has said, Ikogosi is indeed a miracle of nature and a sacred place.
So come enjoy the uniqueness of Ikogosi In its total tranquillity. Coincidentally, it is also located in a tranquil community.
Ikogosi is an exciting and interesting site, an experience you will love to remember.
