This trip starts with a walk through the Þingvellir National park. Þingvellir (en. Parliament fields) is a UNESCO world heritage site and the original birthplace of the oldest existing parliament in the world. In addition it is the place where the great tectonic plates of America and Europe meet and the rift valley is clearly visible.
The geothermal area of Geysir, the home of the one and only Geysir. There the ground gurgles, bubbles and super heated water escapes from the ground with enormous force. Next we stroll down to Gullfoss, the undisputed queen of Icelandic waterfalls. Gullfoss is an amazing sight, the water rushes down three steps of lava layers with breathtaking power and grandeur.
Drumbó basecamp is our following stop and there we eat lunch before heading out for a great rafting trip on Hvítá river. Afterwards the sauna and hot tubs are at hand before entering the road again.
