The Golden Circle is the very route from which you should start your discovery with the stunning nature of Iceland. You will visit natural sites, which are truly considered the visiting cards of the country. You will visit the national park Thingvellir, from where the Icelandic state originates. You will watch the eruption of a geyser in the Haukadalur valley, try the local lamb soup and fall in love with Iceland forever standing at the majestic Gullfoss waterfall.

What awaits you

History of Iceland in the Thingvellir National Park

You will visit a place famous not only for stunning landscapes, but also for its ancient history — in the 10th century, the oldest parliament in the world, Althing, was founded here. It was in the national park of Thingvellir where the roads of all regions of Iceland converged. Also the most important decisions in the history of the state were made here, and the Icelandic culture was born. And the unusual landscapes of Thingvellir will amaze you with giant rifts — breaks of the earth crust, which were formed due to the divergence of the North American and Eurasian lithospheric plates at this point of the planet.

Journey to the Valley of Geysers

Having made a stop at the lake formed in the crater of the volcano, we will go to the valley of Haukadalur — one of the five existing geyser fields in the world. Here you will see wonderful Icelandic landscapes, surrounded by steam, and see the numerous hot springs with the purest water, among which there are the famous Great Geyser and Strokkur, throwing jets of water up to 30 meters high every 10 minutes! Then you can pay tribute to the local cuisine and taste the famous kjötsúpa (meat soup) made with Icelandic lamb.

The power of the Gullfoss waterfall

The culmination of the trip will be the Golden Falls — one of the most famous natural features of Iceland, which is located on a cliff of a mountain range and is formed by two cascades. After walking along the path through the water cloud, we will find ourselves on the natural observation deck of Gullfoss. Here you will have to feel all the titanic power and beauty of the elements, watching the flow of azure-blue water running with a deafening roar along the ridge and falling from a 32-meter height.
