Message from Dani Guindo

Hraunfossar, also known as 'Lava Falls,' is a stunning series of waterfalls in West Iceland near the Barnafoss waterfall. These cascades flow from the Hallmundarhraun lava field into the Hvítá river, creating a unique and picturesque sight. The area is rich in geological history, with hidden caves and legends of trolls and tragedies. Nearby settlements like Reykholt and Borgarnes offer a glimpse into Iceland's fascinating past, making Hraunfossar a must-visit destination for nature lovers and history buffs alike.
