About the places to visit:
Iceland is an ideal destination for photographers, as it is wild, sparsely populated, with landscapes as beautiful as exceptional, a place where everything seems possible. On this trip we will visit not only the most emblematic places of the island but we will visit some lesser-known but equally photogenic locations. Volcanic beaches with large waves in "black and white", pointed rocks in the sea, basaltic columns, large waterfalls and geysers, mountains whose glaciers are among the largest in Europe, icebergs and blocks of ice on black volcanic beaches are some of the ingredients of this trip.
Apart from contemplating and photographing its incredible landscapes, we can have a pleasant (sought after) encounter with the Northern Lights. In this new edition we not only visit the most emblematic locations of the southern part of the Island buy also visit a part of the west, where we have possibilities to find beautiful autumn colors. In short, a place that offers great photographic opportunities, both to know and enjoy new places and to expand our photographic portfolio in a magical land where everything seems possible.
The trip includes transportation, photographic guide and driver, accommodation in hotels with private bathroom and full board (breakfast, picnic and dinner).The duration of the trip is 10 days, in this way we will have a wide travel margin in case of bad weather and the possibility of returning to some locations.
