Message from Aron Tómas

Markarfljótsgljúfur Canyon is a stunning natural gorge located in Iceland's Southern Highlands. While it may not be as well-known as some of the other canyons in the country, it is definitely worth a visit if you're looking for a unique and off-the-beaten-path experience. The canyon stretches for about 4 km and reaches a depth of 200 m, offering breathtaking views and opportunities for hiking. If you're planning to explore this area, it's important to note that there are limited accommodation options nearby. However, with a little bit of planning, you can find cozy guesthouses or campsites in the surrounding towns, allowing you to fully immerse yourself in the beauty of Markarfljótsgljúfur Canyon.
