Arinta Waterfalls near Ipole-Iloro in Ekiti State drops through a series of tiered rock ledges into a natural pool, and its proximity to Ikogosi makes it an easy second stop for anyone already making that drive.
ToTrip Car Rental Services arranges Arinta stops as part of wider Ekiti trips, since the falls sit close enough to Ikogosi Warm Springs that combining both rarely adds meaningful extra distance.
Getting There From Lagos
Arinta sits in Ekiti State, reached via the same general Ibadan-Ekiti corridor covered in our Ikogosi Warm Springs guide, roughly four to five hours from Lagos depending on traffic. The two sites are close enough to each other within Ekiti that they're often visited on the same trip.
The Tiered Falls & Natural Pool
The falls step down through several rock ledges before settling into a natural pool at the base, popular for swimming and considerably cooler than the surrounding air. A short walk from the parking area leads down to the falls themselves, less demanding than the multi-tier climb at Erin Ijesha further west.
