I started drafting an itinerary based on things that I've been researching. We will spend 9 days in the country and aren't sure if what we want to do is too fast-paced. We want a mix of hiking + food + chilling. Besides asking for suggestions on the itinerary, my concrete questions are: \- Should we go clockwise or counter-clockwise? \- Any suggestions on excursions to do? \- What would you change?
