Landmannalaugar Hike and the Valley of Tears

Join us for a day trip to Landmannalaugar, one of the most beautiful places in Iceland. It’s known for its colorful mountains, black lava fields, and warm hot springs. The area was shaped by volcanoes long ago, and you’ll see shiny black rocks called obsidian and bright hills made from a special rock called rhyolite. One of the most colorful mountains is called Brennisteinsalda, also known as “the Sulphur Wave.”

We’ll spend a little over three hours in Landmannalaugar. You can join a guided hike that takes about two hours through the lava fields and up to the colorful mountain. Or, if you like, you can explore on your own or relax in the natural hot pool. Don’t forget to bring your swimsuit and towel if you want to enjoy the warm water. It’s a great way to see the wild beauty of Iceland!
