What awaits us on the journey?
A place that has become our second home
Once upon a time, we dreamed of visiting Iceland, seeing its hot lands and icy beaches, we wanted to understand this unusual country. And, apparently, we dreamed so much that we ended up on the island not just as guests, we stayed to work there and learn the culture of this country. We plunged into the very essence of the north, lived on a farm and worked with small horses, traveled, went to the mountains, valleys, discovered waterfalls, canyons and caves. We avidly explored the island and fell unconditionally in love with it. Iceland is a different, unique world and we want to show it to you!

PROGRAM
1 DAY
We meet the group at the airport and drive to Reykjavik. Those who arrive earlier can take a longer walk around the city.

Reykjavik is a small but interesting city, unlike other world capitals. A very small historical center with wooden houses looks cozy and cute. The wide, stone embankment and unusual Scandinavian sculptures give the city a contrast. In our opinion, the most exciting activity will be the search for a variety of graffiti scattered throughout the streets of Reykjavik.

In the evening we have dinner together and get to know each other, discuss the trip plan, and analyze the most important points.

Overnight stay in Reykjavik

On the way, we will definitely stop at the Icelandic horses and take some cool photos with them.
7 DAY

We are driving along the golden circle of Iceland.

This day will be filled with natural wonders.

The first thing we will go to see will be the Kerið volcano crater, yes, yes, this is a real volcano crater, it is not big, but very picturesque. We will go around it in a circle and look inside.

Our next stop is Þingvellir National Park - the only UNESCO Site in Iceland. The park is located right between the European and North American tectonic plates and is famous for its natural beauty. This is the best place on the planet to see the edges of these two continents. The Icelandic Parliament, the oldest functioning parliament in the world, the Althingi, was founded here. He was in 930 AD. and continues to work in Reykjavik to this day.

After lunch, we will try to catch the huge Geysir geyser, which gave its name to all other similar phenomena on the planet :)

Now it mostly sleeps, but the nearby Strokkur geyser erupts about every 5 minutes. This spectacle is truly impressive. The land around is painted in different colors and hot springs are found at every step.

The fourth natural wonder of the day is the full-flowing and powerful Gullfoss waterfall. Gullfoss is one of the most impressive waterfalls in Iceland. Its size and power are staggering. You can watch it from several viewing platforms.

After a busy day, we will go to the place of an overnight stay.
8 DAY
Deep into the island. Bright day!
We start our morning with a walk to the valley of rivers and waterfalls.
The path will lead us through the northern forest, and we will find ourselves in the real world of water. Many streams cascade down from high cliffs and create a whole harmony of sounds - this is how Iceland sounds. We will take a photo, taste the most delicious water, and meditate a bit (if necessary).

Our next destination is Iceland's second largest waterfall (and also our favorite) - Háifoss. Yes, this place leaves a deep impression and amazes us with its scale. We will have a picnic with a view of the Grand Canyon, lunch in such a beautiful place is a special pleasure.

After lunch, we will go to the Landmannalaugar valley, where colored mountains and a bright crater with red sands are hidden from the eyes. We climb to the very top to see the Ljotipollur lake in all its glory and the famous colorful landscapes.

Happy and full of impressions, we go to the hotel to spend the night.
9 DAY
The hot springs
Therefore, we will go to the valley of the hot rivers Hveragerdi. A beautiful hike awaits us through colored hills and a geothermal area with geysers and bright clays, at the end of the path we will stop in a cozy place surrounded by high mountains. Here the hot rivers of the valley originate. The most interesting thing is that each of us will decide for himself where to swim, if you like hotter water, you can take a place upstream, where the hot stream connects with the cold, if you want to plunge into refreshing water - go down with the flow.

An alternative to a wild spring can be the Blue Lagoon, which is popular all over the world. We will make this choice together, having consulted.

After lunch we return to Reykjavik, walk around the city, buy souvenirs, and send postcards to family and friends. We celebrate the end of our trip with dinner.
