Today you along with your private guide explore the famous Golden Circle. This route encompasses many of Iceland’s most famous landmarks: Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and the location of the world's first parliament; Geysir geothermal area and Gullfoss waterfalls. At Thingvellir National Park history and nature meets. This is the only place where the Mid-Atlantic Ridge comes to the surface and forms a rift valley between tectonic plates. Filled in the fissure created by the separation of the plates is glacial water that has been filtered underground for decades through hardened, porous lava rock. The filtering process of the glacial water makes Silfra one of the clearest bodies of water on earth with up to 120 meters of visibility.
The history was made at Thingvellir when in 930AD was formed Althing, the oldest parliament still in operation. Therefore Thingvellir is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage for both, natural and cultural importance.
At Geysir geothermal area Strokkur, "the butter churn”, erupts about every 4-8 minutes. The big Geyser, which gave name to all other geysers, has been in recent years inactive.
Gullfoss is an iconic waterfall located in South Iceland on the Hvítá River which is fed by Iceland´s second biggest glacier, Langjökull. On a sunny day, shimmering rainbow can be seen over the falls.
