Okay, a guide photo can be enticing, but claiming that it "standardizes" a trip is to ignore all the hidden costs and unforeseen events that can arise.
The reality on the ground is often very different from the perfect image, and human experiences are not limited to a single shot, even inspiring.
For example, visiting The Wave requires obtaining a permit via lottery, which can shift plans entirely if not obtained.
Here in France, we often see administrative procedures like obtaining a CAF attestation that, even after thorough research, can make a trip complicated to realize, regardless of initial inspiration.
It's naive to think that an image alone can erase all practical constraints.
