Volcanic Iceland

The beauty of the land comes directly from its harshness – there’s a reason those vistas are undisturbed by skyscrapers and the grumble of traffic. Seeing the most spectacular sights requires a bit of an adventurous spirit, but the rewards make it worthwhile. And to soften the blow, Mother Nature offers geothermal water, which not only acts as a valuable sustainable power source, but also as a warm, soothing blanket for weary travellers. Thanks to countless hot springs and volcanic lagoons, rich in mineral content, the wellness culture in Iceland is unparalleled.

So how to tackle this hardy landscape? The best way is on Culture Trip’s five-day itinerary that starts in the capital Reykjavik and journeys deep into the island, while also illuminating the fascinating culture born from it. You’ll see all the sights, both known and unknown, snowmobile across glaciers, and sample local delicacies, before a well-earned dip in the Blue Lagoon.
