Oh wow, thank you for the very detailed response. It sounds like it's scary in the beginning (as most things are) but worth it in the end.

I realized that there's much more planning involved as I initially thought, I'll keep these advices and feedback in mind for future references.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience and keep exploring!

How was your experience with El Caminito? I've always wanted to go but I feel quite overwhelmed with all the planning.
