Just a short 5-10 minute walk north from its famous neighbor, Seljalandsfoss, you'll discover one of our best-kept secrets: Gljúfrabúi, the 'Canyon Dweller.' To witness its beauty, you'll need to step carefully through a narrow opening in the cliff and wade through a shallow stream, so be sure to wear waterproof boots and clothing. Inside, you'll find yourself in a magical, moss-covered cavern where the waterfall tumbles down into a secluded pool, creating an unforgettable, misty atmosphere.

Once you get to Seljalandsfoss take the other path away from the falls and you will find this guy.
