Rising majestically above the surrounding landscape, Oke Idanre is also known as Idanre Hills. It is both a natural wonder and a sacred site steeped in Yoruba tradition. For centuries, it has been a place of worship, storytelling, and cultural preservation. Its rocky slopes hold ancient footpaths, shrines, and mysterious carvings said to date back hundreds of years.
At the heart of its spiritual significance are the sacred spots scattered across the hill, where rituals to honor ancestors and Orishas are still performed. The climb to the summit passes through iconic sites such as the Agboogun footprint, the ancient palace, and the Arun River—believed to have healing properties.
Beyond its spiritual aura, Oke Idanre offers panoramic views that captivate visitors. Whether approached as a pilgrimage, a cultural exploration, or an eco-tourism adventure, it stands as one of Nigeria’s most remarkable blends of heritage and nature.
