Idanre Hill is a beautiful hill with 682 steps from the ground.
One of the most enduring and seemingly closer to the truth, indicates that the revered founder of Idanre was Olofin Aremitan, who according to history was the younger brother of Oduduwa, the legendary founder of the Yoruba tribes in Nigeria.
Apart from the festivals, which make the site a living tradition, the flora and fauna of the hills are also unique. There is a special species of tailless animal called Hyrax that lives on the rocks which because of hunting are becoming extinct and there are special monkeys sported near Orosun hills.
