Our group will not be left alone with the typical visits from the area, the day will reveal many other waterfalls and hidden gems that we will walk next to and observe while hiking near.

Afterward, we will take another trek to one of the most beautiful and not yet well-known canyons hidden between the tongues of the glaciers. For the last visit of the day, we cannot miss the unique lake Jökulsárlón, the glacier lagoon and the diamond beach formed by the constant movements of the glacier and the waves of the ocean.
