Sigöldugljúfur canyon
The Sigöldugljúfur canyon is one of Iceland's most fascinating places. A true hidden treasure of the region, it is still rarely visited by tourists.
The canyon is a small oasis in the middle of the Highlands, isolated and unusually lush for the region. The shades of moss and vegetation contrast perfectly with the turquoise water of the river. What a privilege to be able to contemplate the spectacle of dozens of waterfalls in complete tranquillity! A must-see on your visit to Iceland.
