Landmannalaugar is often referred to as the Pearl of the central highlands. It is a status to live up to considering how many beautiful places there are to be found in the highlands of Iceland. But only by paying the area a visit is going to make you understand that it fully deserves the reputation it has. Hekla Volcano is what could be referred to as a legend among the volcanoes in Iceland. It has erupted several times since Iceland was settled. Myths and terror have been created by the eruptions through the centuries. So there is no wonder that local people know so many stories related to the volcano. This tour combines visits to those two magical places among other stops included in this tour. If you ever have the chance to visit these places it is going to be something you will never forget.
