Isolated Iceland

Arrival to Keflavik airport and transfer to Reykjavík. Personal material review, briefing and free afternoon in the Icelandic capital. First night in hostel in Reykjavík. (Dinner not included)

In the morning we will depart from Reykjavík on our vehicle to the Landmannalaugar geotermal area, in the heart of the Icelandic Highlands. On our way we will discover some hidden places like craters full of turquoise water, green volcanoes and canyons full of waterfalls.

Once in Landmannalaugar we will do our first hike of the trip, the Bláhnúkur mountain, also known as the "Blue Peak Mountain".

Night at the mountain hut.

Our guide will drive us along the highland F-roads to the Langisjór area, where we can find the longest lake in Iceland and the amazing Mt Sveinstindur.

We will prepare ourselves for the great hike we have ahead. We will go up to the Fögrufjöll mountains for getting some outstanding views of the lake and the mountains around it and with the different glaciers on the distant horizon.

After a long night we will wake up in the morning for driving until the south coast of Iceland.

After a nice stop at Vik for buying some supplies in case it would be necessary and for enjoying this small but magic beach, we will drove back to the Highlands through the road to Thakgil.

Night at the huts.

We will wake up in the middle of the petrified lava fields and after enjoying an energetic breakfast to face the day, we will drive with our vehicles through the northern area of Myrdalsjökull glacier.

We will drive and walk through black deserts and green volcanoes like the Maelifell, until we reach a secret and forgotten area. A valley full of obsidian just below a magnificent volcano. We will discover the secrets of this place with our guides.

Night at the mountain hut.

Nordic mythology tells that the Ragnarök (the battle of the end of the world) was the fight between the Gods and the Giants. The eruption of the volcanic system linking the Katla and the Eldgjá volcanoes, is believed to have inspired its description in the Viking sagas. Today we will go to one of those landscapes that look like something out of a science fiction movie. Our goal: to reach a hidden gem surrounded by volcanic deserts and the moors between the Torfajökull and Mýrdalsjökull glaciers. We will walk all day and in the afternoon we will go to Álftavatn.

Night at the mountain hut.

Our last day of hiking. We will wake up in Álftavatn and we will spend the morning hiking around this area where we could visit different areas always with the enormous Myrdalsjökull glacier tongues on the distance.

After this, we will depart on our vehicle to the north area of Eyjafjallajökull volcano, the one that erupted on 2010. We will drive through this area until we arrive to the small town of Hvolsvöllur, where we will spend the night in a great accommodation.
