Me and my girlfriend are looking for a trip to do this spring or summer and we dont know where to go... any ideas?
Our last trip was in Iceland and this is totally the kind of trip we're looking for : lots of nature, animals, spectacular nature... you know.
We tought about going to Chile, anyone ever been there?

Go to Ireland. Rent a car. See the west coast. Hang out with Plashal in Dublin. Ireland is so wonderful; we almost went back this coming summer with my parents after going there a couple years ago.
Need I say more?

Ever been to Jamaica? Rented a car and drove around the island for 2+ weeks years ago, I've been back about a half a dozen times since.

I would say Turkey. You can rent a car for cheap and drive the entire country using safe, well paved highways, it's just massive! The south is Mediterranean climate, Istanbul feels like Northwest of the U.S. and the middle is crazy mountains with snow and volcanic activity has created some spectacular sights like Cappadoccia. The north in the Black Sea is full of evergreens rivers and rocky coasts.
In the Cappadoccia region which is about 200 square miles there is a place called Ihlara Valley which is just simply amazing! Google imaging it just won't do it justice unfortunately. If you can set up an overnight camping stay inside the valley during the Spring where you sleep in tents with a group and build a fire and watch the stars it is just magical.
The best part about a Turkey trip is that your money will go a long way, about 1.8 Turkish Lira per Dollar. Turkish people love tourists, they treat you very well and the country is relatively clean and safe. Food is so damn cheap for a while I was making it a point to spend less then $10 a day on food and it was easy!
Then you have the ruins all over the country. Greek, Roman and Ottoman. But seriously look at some of these places:
These are just google image finds so not the best quality. I would visit http://turkishtravelblog.com for detailed info. The girl who runs this blog is cool she will reply to your questions right away. Also for some better photos check out my photo site under the Turkey category.

If you're looking in the US, check out Beaver Creek, CO. Just got back from skiing for the first time. But even non-skiers could find TONS to do. Nature's all over the freaking place out there. Some amazing sights.

Also seems like your pretty interested in Volcanos and volcanic landscapes. Look in to just staying on the Big Island of Hawaii the place has every possible climate within a day's drive. During the spring it beautiful. I stayed there for 40 days once I saw some of the most bizarre landscapes ever.
LOL
