Yeah, I didn't mean DOC. It's pretty clear they are not a tourism company.
Rather I was asking about hostels/accom places or any other ways of doing that, if people had any experiences in that or what they did when didn't want to carry more than they had with them.
If not then I will only bring what I will carry. But if there any ways then it would be good to know in advance, hence me being here and asking the community.
