Nigerian Tourism: Iya Alake, The Only Suspended Lake in Africa.


Located in Ago-Awaye, Oyo state Nigeria lays the only suspended lake in Africa, second of two in the world. Popularly known as Iya alake this suspended/hanging lake sits on the Oke Ado mountain in the Awaye town, it is said to be bottomless as anyone who enters the lake can never come out.

It takes about 600 steps and over an hour to reach the top of the mountain, the prize to all this work is the beautiful view of the town, various historical attractions because there are 16 other said gods and artifacts on the mountain and the serenity that comes along with the hilltop.


To make your journey to the top of the mountain worth the climb, do these things;

* Pack for a picnic,                                                

*Do not pack for swimming, that should be the last thing on your mind.

*Bring a camera along, the world has got to know you climbed that mountain.


The gate fee is just 1,000 naira and 500naira for children.
