“We were meant to explore this earth like children do, unhindered by fear, propelled by curiosity and a sense of discovery. Allow yourself to see the world through new eyes and know there are amazing adventures here for you.” Laurel Bleadon Maffei
Learn moreIdanre Hills is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Ondo State, Nigeria and for good reason. The hills erupt unapologetically from the Idanre community and offer a backdrop that is as fascinating as the legend of the hills themselves. Idanre Hills has 660 steps, forested paths and then bare rock that will give you mountain envy. If you’re looking for a climb for everyone – this is where to start.
There’s also so much history that the guide explained to us as we climbed. There is a stream, a school, old settlements, farms and ruins of a palace that was built on top the hill. Folks, we have so much history in this country, it is mind-blowing. There is even a stone still placed quietly on an old street that had to be carried by men to chest level before they were eligible to take a wife.
