1. Ngwo Caves and Waterfall:

Another appealing place to see is the Ngwo Caves and Waterfall in Enugu. Surrounded by the beautiful trees of Ngwo Pine Forest, the valley floors feature gently flowing stream of spring water. Ngwo Cave was naturally formed in limestone by the waterfall dropping down from a small opening at the roof of the cave.
The waterfall form a shallow pool at the cave floor and flows out as a small stream. The water fall also has both warm and hot water that flow out together from one source. Behind the big mass of rock in which the cave is emplaced, there are more caves carefully tucked into the rock, some within reach and others needing a good climb to access.
