The rainbow waterfall: a beauty hiding in Cross River
Located in the Etung local government area of Crossriver State, the rainbow waterfall, also known as Agbokim Waterfall, is a major tourist attraction in Cross River State, Nigeria.
The Agbokim waterfall is an extraordinary sight. From a distance, it looks like a long white drape spread over high rocks and down into a deep valley below. As you draw closer, you see that it is not just one stream of water flowing over the rocks but about seven streams coming down from different directions, sometimes coming together as they flow down over the rocks, and other times flowing apart as they fall into deep ravines below. The force of the rushing waters crashing into each other create giant sprays that make up the white drape appearance from afar.
When the sun's rays fall on these giant sprays, they create beautiful rainbow colours which give the waterfall its nickname: "the rainbow waterfall."
