Iceland, the land of fire and ice, is one of the most eco-friendly countries in the world. The nation prides itself on producing almost all its electricity using renewable electricity sources. The capital city of Reykjavik won the Nordic Nature and Environment Prize in 2014 and is working to become a carbon-neutral city in 2040. It’s worth noting that the capital is one of the safest cities in the world. Travelers will begin their journey there; everyone can feel free to check out the coffee shops, museums, viewpoints, restaurants, and galleries while being acquainted. Everyone will have a chance to explore the “Golden Circle” of the country, home to several waterfalls, geysers, glaciers, and more!

At Snæfellsjökull National Park, the group can hike Dritvik cae, visit the villages of Hellnar and Arnarstapi, and visit the basalt cliffs of Lóndranger.
