Today tour will bring you to Thingvellir National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the location of Iceland’s Parliament between the years 930 and 1798. It is also one of the few places in the world where you can clearly see the effects of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates pulling apart. For lunch, we will stop at a family-owned farm, where they grow tomatoes all year round, despite Iceland’s long, dark winters, using artificial lighting in greenhouses. We will be able to enjoy their famous tomato soup with freshly baked bread. After lunch we will get the chance to visit the Icelandic Horse, which is known for its diversity of gaits, coat colors, strength, health, and good spirit. You will be invited to the stable where you get a presentation about the horse and a horse show where one rider will show you all the gaits. Then, we will make our way to the Geothermal area of Geyser a hot spring that gave its name to the phenomenon worldwide. There are many hot springs in this area and the most popular attraction is without a doubt Strokkur which erupts every few minutes. We will also visit the beautiful Gullfoss or The Golden Waterfall often considered to be the most beautiful waterfall in the country. As Hotel Rangá is located in a rural area so light pollution is not an issue during the winter months. By turning off our external lights the hotel can provide optimal conditions to view the night sky either stargazing or Aurora watching if the forecast is good.
