The adventure that awaits you will not be less exciting because it is the most classic and demanded by travelers. This route can be done with a standard vehicle since you will not go into F roads that do require 4x4 vehicles.

Feel the caress of the thermal waters of this open-air lagoon located on a volcanic lava field. Nature in harmony with the landscape while you relax and celebrate the beginning of your trip with a drink while bathing.
Why is this lagoon blue? The reason is simple. The thermal waters of Blue Lagoon have a high silica content that, by reflecting visible light on this mineral in suspension, makes you perceive that beautiful blue tone. Located in the heart of Reykjanes, recognized by UNESCO as a Global Geopark, Blue Lagoon is also an idyllic setting for a photo shoot for your social networks.

Writings tell that the first man to move permanently to Iceland, Ingólfur Arnarson, spent the winter of 873 to 874 A.D. under the mountain that overlooks Selfoss: Ingólfsfjall. Although it was not until after 1000 AD that he decided to settle permanently.
In this interactive museum you will learn how the knowledge about the manufacture of Skyr, the typical Icelandic fat-free yogurt with high protein content that is a symbol of identity of this nation, was transmitted from generation to generation for centuries.
This dairy product began to be produced in isolated grass-roofed farms - characteristic in some parts of Iceland - to be exported to other countries around the world. Its production during the short summers has been a natural source of life to face the cold and long winters of these latitudes.

The Kerid crater, located in the Grímsnes area in southern Iceland, is over 3,000 years old and is one of the most beautiful craters in Iceland. The parking lot is next to the road and to access the crater you only have to walk a couple of minutes.
Remember to pay the entrance fee at the small ticket office before entering. This contribution is for the owners to preserve and protect the crater as the land is privately owned.
There is a small viewpoint at the beginning of the hike but I recommend that you walk around the edge of the crater all the way around. It is very easy and undemanding. The crater is 55 meters deep, oval shaped and measures 270 meters in diameter. You can also descend into the interior and walk around the crater lake. The color of the water is so vivid because of the mineral composition of the surrounding rocks.

Urriðafoss is a waterfall of record. The Þjórsá River fractures at this point in southwestern Iceland with an enormous flow that exceeds even that of the magnificent Gullfoss waterfall. Urriðafoss has the highest average water flow of all Icelandic waterfalls and the second highest in the European ranking behind the Rhine Falls (Switzerland).
There are also usually fishermen on one of the banks. If you are lucky you will see how they catch some wild salmon, a very abundant species at this point where it is estimated that between 40 and 60,000 salmon pass through every year.

Iceland, in general, is not a country that we can call cheap. However, if you are on a tighter budget, it is possible to buy certain products at affordable prices. Bonus supermarkets offer a wide variety of fresh and processed foods at competitive prices. If you feel like it, you can buy your favorite food to cook tonight at the hostel and if not, I also propose an option for dinner.
Opening hours Monday to Sunday from 10:00 am to 8:00 pm
