1 NIGHT LANDMANNALAUGAR 2011
YOU WILL DRIVE TO LANDMANNALAUGAR
This 2 days trip will bring you to the „PEARL OF ICELAND“ Landmannalaugar.
During the summer Landmannalaugar is one of the busiest places in Iceland but not in the winter. The reason is that you cannot get there on a normal rental jeep or on your own. You need a super jeep to get there.
You can take a day tour to Landmannalaugar or book this 2 day tour with 1 night at the Landmannalaugar mountain hut.
The BIG PLUS on the 2 day tour is that YOU WILL DRIVE THE JEEP and that you will spend more time at the wonderful place LANDMANNALAUGAR.
