It is in a cliffed gorge, and its associated caves with underground passages. The Ayikunugba (or Ayikunnugba) Waterfalls is located southwest of the town, along the north-trending ridge-and-gorge series of the Oke-Ila Ridge complex.
It is in the valley off the northern road that leads to the town. The waterfall flows down two main mounds and collects into a pool at the bottom, feeding the westward flowing river the Omi-Ogan River.
It is southeast of Òkè-Ìlá Òràngún, from the top of which a panoramic view of the surrounding towns within about 50 km radius can be seen. The ridges and gorges consist of the geologically defined Oke-Ila Quartzites.
