In the most northerly part of the Atlantic, in north-western Europe, between frozen Greenland and the popular Nordic countries, a surprising land is located.Island and country in unison, Iceland brings together, in only 100,000 square metres, one of the most complete geographies of the planet. Of volcanic origin, its territory combines glaciers, icebergs, geysers, craters, lakes, waterfalls, forests, lava fields, ice caves, fjords, etc. But its magic is not just in the terrain. Its sky, with its multicolored northern lights, is one of the most beautiful in the world.And, if you go in summer, the night will be as bright as the day. Descendants of the Vikings, it is born out of tradition. Its inhabitants, mostly concentrated in the capital, but also preserving fishing villages and an economy that lives from the sea, speak one of the oldest living languages ​​of the Earth. Iceland is fascinating territory, where reality and the literary scene come together. Where one will believe to be in scenarios of extraordinary adventures, with Verne as a reference. Freedom is discovering and experiencing sensations without strict timetables. That is why we have designed a Route that you can modify at your leisure or enjoy by car, dedicating the time you want to the places we recommend.So you can sample the best of magical Iceland, including its gastronomy, with a strong focus on meat and products from the ocean.

Important remarks

- Due to the sheer distance between hotels in Iceland, we recommend adapting the itinerary of this road trip according to the hotel selected for your overnight stay.

- Driving in Iceland is straightforward, but please note that many roads are gravel, especially secondary and inland roads. Snow can make driving difficult in some months of the year. This is why we recommend renting a 4x4 vehicle. Many roads are closed in winter because of the snow, but that's when you can visit the ice caves. Always pay attention to speed limit signs, as there are strict fines for speeding. Remember that you have to keep your lights on whenever you're driving. We recommend the use of GPS and/or a good Internet connection due to the poor quality and/or lack of signal.

- Triple rooms in Europe are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.

- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.

- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.

- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.

- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.

- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.

- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
