Message from Dani Guindo

Goðafoss is a famous waterfall in Iceland known for its horseshoe shape and multiple cascades. Legend has it that the name "Waterfall of the Gods" comes from locals throwing pagan god statues into the falls when Christianity became the official religion. Visitors can easily access the falls from the Ring Road, with parking, restrooms, and dining options nearby. The waterfall offers stunning views and photo opportunities, making it a must-see attraction on any Iceland itinerary.
