Giorno 5 — Vik i Myrdal → Hveragerdi → Penisola di Reykjanes → Reykjavik
Breakfast. The day involves the return towards the west coast along the evocative landscapes of southern Iceland, with possible stops at the places not visited on the outward journey. Stop at Hveragerði. Hveragerði is known as the “town of greenhouses”, built on a geothermal area so active that hot steam rises from the ground between the houses and feeds the greenhouses where fruit, vegetables and flowers grow even in winter. At the foot of the Reykjadalur hills winds a valley where a naturally warm river flows, allowing an open-air soak after a short hike. The centre is home to a geothermal park open to visitors and a small museum, while the area''s seismic activity is told in a dedicated exhibition. A few minutes from Route 1 and the Golden Circle, Hveragerði is a curious and relaxing stop. Between steam, vegetable gardens and thermal bathing, it is one of the south''s most distinctive places. Here, you’ll visit a farm and meet the Icelandic horses: small but strong, and known for their distinctive coat colours. Their gentle nature means you’ll have the chance to pet them and take plenty of selfies together. Traditional treats from Icelandic farms will be served. Continuation to Reykjanes Peninsula. The Reykjanes Peninsula in southwest Iceland is a primordial land where nature expresses itself with full force and spectacle. Just a few kilometers from Reykjavík and Keflavík International Airport, this corner of Iceland offers an incredible mix of volcanic landscapes, geothermal wonders, and ancient legends. Here, surreal scenes abound: moss-covered lava fields, bubbling mud, steaming hot springs, and wind-swept black beaches. It is the land of Fagradalsfjall, a volcano that has recently come back to life with spectacular eruptions, and the iconic Blue Lagoon, the famous geothermal spa set in a lunar landscape. Amidst the waves of the Atlantic stands Reykjanesviti, the island's oldest lighthouse, while the heart of the land pulses with the energy of the Krýsuvík geothermal area, amid intense colors and menacing fumaroles. There are also symbolic places like the Bridge Between Continents, which symbolically connects the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates, reminding us that Iceland is literally a land between two worlds. Visiting Reykjanes means experiencing the wild soul of the island firsthand, amid extreme landscapes, deep silences, and ever-vivid nature in constant change. It's a perfect place for those who love adventure, photography, and the pure energy of the Earth. Arrival at Reykjavík in the evening. Dinner free.
