Iceland (in winter)

A trip to Iceland is an immersion in raw and captivating nature. Between active volcanoes, black sand beaches, majestic glaciers, and natural hot springs, the island offers landscapes unlike any other in the world. Traveling the Ring Road on a road trip allows you to discover its most iconic treasures, from the Golden Circle to isolated fjords, waterfalls, and glacial lagoons.

Reykjavík

The northernmost capital in the world, Reykjavík charms with its colorful houses, cozy cafes, and vibrant cultural scene. Discover the Hallgrímskirkja, the Sun Voyager sculpture, and the bustling old harbor. Nearby, the Blue Lagoon is a must-see for relaxing in turquoise waters naturally heated to 38°C, surrounded by lava fields.

Þingvellir, Geysir & Gullfoss

Unmissable on the Golden Circle, these three sites offer a condensed version of Iceland's natural wonders. Þingvellir, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a unique national park located on the fault line between the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates. At Geysir, Strokkur erupts every 5 to 10 minutes, creating an impressive spectacle. Gullfoss, nicknamed the "Golden Falls," captivates with its powerful double cascade that plunges into a deep canyon.

Seljalandsfoss, Skógafoss & Reynisfjara

Following the south coast, Seljalandsfoss offers a unique view of the waters beneath its curtain. Skógafoss, 60 meters high, often reveals stunning rainbows in the mist. Further along, the black beach of Reynisfjara impresses with its basalt cliffs and rock stacks emerging from the ocean.

Skaftafell, Jökulsárlón & Diamond Beach

Skaftafell National Park, in the heart of Vatnajökull, is a hiker's paradise, with Svartifoss, a waterfall surrounded by black basalt columns, among other attractions. Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon is a marvel, with icebergs drifting slowly out to sea before washing up on Diamond Beach, where they sparkle like jewels on the black sand.
