Itinerary

Itinerary

10 días de fotografía por Islandia: desde los volcanes y acantilados de basalto de Snæfellsnes hasta los icebergs de Jökulsárlón, pasando por cascadas como Skógafoss, la Playa de los Diamantes, el Círculo Dorado y la montaña Vestrahorn. Y cada noche, salidas en busca de auroras boreales.

The first day begins with your arrival at Keflavík International Airport (KEF), where we will be waiting to welcome you to Iceland.

We will transfer to the hotel in Reykjavik (50 minutes) where you can rest.

Around 16:00h, the whole group will meet in the lobby to get to know each other, take a walk around the city and have dinner together.

After breakfast, we head to the Snæfellsnes Peninsula (approx. 3h), which holds some of the most photogenic landscapes in the entire country.

Wild coastlines await you, the spectacular basalt cliffs of Arnarstapi, the charming black church of Búðir, the Búðahraun lava field, the peculiar sea stacks of Lóndrangar and the iconic volcanic mountain Kirkjufell.

Snæfellsnes is also one of the best places in Iceland to witness the northern lights, so keep your camera ready.

After a sunrise session at Kirkjufell, we head towards the south coast (approx. 5h drive).

First stop at the Kvernufoss waterfall, and then at the imposing Skógafoss, with a 60-meter drop that you can photograph up close.

At night, we will head out in search of the northern lights.

We venture into Vatnajökull National Park: lava sculptures, glacier tongues, waterfalls and vast black sand beaches.

In the afternoon, the Jökulsárlón glacial lagoon, where floating icebergs offer a magical setting.

At sunset, the Diamond Beach, where ancient ice shines on volcanic sand.

At night, northern lights hunt.

Sunrise session at Jökulsárlón or the Diamond Beach.

During the day, option to visit an ice cave (4h, $200/person, not included).

The rest of the day photographing glaciers, waterfalls and black sand landscapes.

At night, aurora hunting over Jökulsárlón or the nearby Fjallsárlón.

Sunrise at the Diamond Beach.

We then head to the Stokksnes Peninsula, where the Vestrahorn mountain —nicknamed the "Batman Mountain"— offers unique compositions among black sand dunes, snow and frozen pools.

We photograph until sunset, with the aurora as a possible finale.

We explore the Skaftafell Nature Reserve: glacier tongues, serene lagoons, snow-capped peaks, frozen waterfalls and rivers born from the glaciers.

Every corner offers spectacular compositions.

If the aurora appears at night, we will look for a location near the hotel to photograph it.

We tour the three jewels of the Golden Circle: the Gullfoss waterfall, the Strokkur geyser in the Geysir geothermal area (eruptions every few minutes, up to 20m high) and the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Þingvellir National Park, with the Öxarárfoss waterfall as the crowning highlight.

We return to Keflavík for the last group dinner.

After breakfast, transfer to Keflavík International Airport for the return flight.
