Word of caution — some online profiles are fake. Other than that, great destination.

First time was a learning experience. Second time was 10x smoother. Experience makes all the difference.

Also recommend downloading Maps.me before you go. Essential.

I was there in March and prices were about average. Spent about $100/day all-in.
My tip: midweek is much better.
