I've posted the journey on my noise.cash profile, but its not complete yet until its posted here, for a full and complete understanding.
Ikogosi warm and cold spring is a place in the south west of Nigeria, situated in Osun State, approximately few hours journey from Lagos State. Its an ancestral place thus which makes it a place one needs to be careful and act according to the instructions given by the officials.
The Ikogosi is a warm and cold water spring, a place where warm and cold water meet but do not mix, just like the gulf of Alaska where salty and normal water meets but do not mix. This is a wonder from Africa and a place every tourist should visit and learn the art and history of Nigeria culture and nature wonders.
Without further ado, let me take you round few places within the Ikogosi.
The Entrance;
After alighting from the bus, thats if you do not come with your own can, you can walk few miles to the entrance of the resort, you are greeted with a narrow tarred road that leads to where the wonders is located. Actually its a clean place and i give kudos to those taking charge in cleaning and maintenance. There's a fee you would have to pay before entering the actual spot, these fees are what is used to take care of the resort, remit to the government and pay some petty workers, so don't go there empty handed.
Reaching the Spot;
After passing through the gate, it takes few to get to the main spot, there you will pass the small wooden pedestrian bridge, underneath is the water flowing. This bridge contributes immensely to the beauty of the Resort and its actually amazing.
The Woods;
The Resort has some fascinating woods that are high and makes the resort a beautiful place to visit. You will actually pass the woods before you will get to the main spot, that leads to the cafeteria as well and you can have any kind of food you desire.
The Ancestral Rock;
Immediately after coming down from the bridge, you will be greeted with the ancestral Rock that has been there for centuries. The rock depicts the meeting point of the warm and cold spring, so you won't have to keep searching for the meeting point of both water, just like a confluence, the water is clean as well.
The Clay Pot;
The clay pot gushing out water was actually moulded there to add to the beauty of the resort, its made in a way that it extracts the water and pour it back into the spring, this is not ancestral but just to add to the beauty to make the resort looks fascinating to the visitors.
The Waterfall;
You will get to experience a waterfall in the resort, its surrounded with a good environment, nice woods, plants worth taken pictures with. The waterfall doesn't actually have a anything to do with the spring, for they flow differently from different source.
The Warm and Cold water spring;
Passing through the bridge, the water flows beneath it, which is like a welcome bonus for the visitors. The water is a clean water but not advisable to drink it, it can only be used to wash off hands and perhaps body.
The Spring water;
The picture below is the image of the clean water spring, I decided to have a feel of the water, it was quite cool, clean and see through. Actually its amazing and worth to be visited.
Thanks for reading and you can try to pay a visit.
