This adventure-type crossing is a demanding route, without the travel comforts of conventional tourism. Water is scarce and little electricity is obtained from gasoline generators and solar panels. The road is exposed and dusty. Permanent sun and constant heat during the day and a little cold during the night. There are no conventional hotels, and the accommodation is carried out in the Wayuu communities visited.
Due to the travel conditions, it is not recommended for small children or older adults with chronic health problems. However, there are health services (hospitals) in Uribía, Manaure, and Maicao and health posts in Puerto Bolívar, Paraíso, and Cabo de la Vela.
