TOP 15 BEAUTIFUL AND CHEAP COUNTRIES TO TRAVEL IN THE WORLD

These are the top places in Latin America to visit on a tight budget.

1.Nicaragua

It will be a trendy destination in the future. Why?

You will find everything you need: surfing, volcanoes that can be climbed, and volcanoes that can be slid down, Caribbean islands. There are also stunning colonial cities. It’s also very affordable!

It’s the cheapest country in Latin America. Hostels are usually between $10-15 per night. Good meals cost $3-5. Transportation costs are often a few dollars. Activities are also affordable.

The top money-saving tip: For activities such as the Leon volcano boarding, get a large group together. You can negotiate the price and get less.

2.Colombia

When I think about Colombia, the first thing that comes to mind is “magical”. Although it’s difficult to pinpoint the reason, it may have something to do with Colombia’s music, dancing, and exceptional people.

You can spend a little money to visit Colombia’s deserts, sprawling cities, Caribbean beaches, and jungle.

It’s almost impossible to travel in Colombia on a tight budget. You can travel on a budget with $1 Arepas for dinner.

Money-saving tips: Look for signs advertising a “menu del dia” This can often be found in local restaurants during lunchtime. You can get a drink, soup, and a main dish for $3.

3.Peru

Peru houses the famous Machu Picchu. It is one of the 7 Wonders of the World. It is also a paradise for hikers. You don’t have to take the bus to Machu Picchu if you want an even more adventurous adventure, you can also spend 4-5 days hiking!

Peru, like Colombia, is very diverse. It is possible to visit an oasis in a desert, wander through the Andes and spend the night at the highest lake in the country, or go back in time and join the Incas.

When you think about Peru, what food comes to your mind? Ceviche and Guinea Pig are the most common foods that come to mind when you think of Peru. Although Guinea Pig is expensive, it’s very affordable to eat in Peru. Enjoy delicious ceviche at a local market for less than $2.

The best money-saving tip is It’s common for Peru to take a long trip between two destinations. To save money on accommodation, take a night bus.

4.Mexico

As tourism has increased, Mexico has become slightly less expensive over the last few years. It’s still an affordable and beautiful place to travel.

Mexico’s beautiful colonial cities, Mayan ruins, and idyllic beaches can be explored for months. You will always want to stay in the friendly, welcoming Mexicans.

On the west coast, boat trips to whale watch can be as low as $15. Even though a diet based solely on tacos may not be the best for your health, it is possible to find tacos starting at $0.50.

The top money-saving tips: The east coastline – Tulum and Cancun, Playa del Carmen, is where you will find the most tourism. Spend more time on Mexico’s west coast if you have a limited budget.

If you are determined to explore the east coast’s paradisia beaches, but have a tight budget, consider volunteering at Tulum and helping at a Cancun hostel.

5.El Salvador

After seeing the area labelled as unsafe, people are often reluctant to travel to El Savador. Although it has a high crime level, this is often gang-related and not targeted at tourists.

This should be okay with you! Otherwise, you will miss one of Central America’s most affordable countries, and one that is full of beauty.

El Salvador is an ideal place to surf, climb some volcanoes, visit colonial towns, and enjoy a country that has yet to be overrun by tourists. It’s not easy to find this nowadays.

The top money-saving tip is Shop at local markets. You’ll find the best and cheapest food in these markets. You don’t have to travel on a tight budget.

6.Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is often called ‘Little Africa’. It’s home to 22 national parks, scenic train rides, secret surfing spots, temples, sacred sites, white-sand beach, and the friendliest people.

For only $15, you can visit Yala National Park, which is home to Sri Lankan leopards and more than 300 elephants. Street food in Sri Lanka can be delicious and affordable.

It is okay to receive home-cooked meals for free. Sri Lankan hospitality has a different level.

Southeast Asia has been a popular destination for backpackers for an extended period. Laos can avoid being overrun by tourists.

This is good because Laos is the most affordable country to travel to in Southeast Asia. Laos is home to beautiful Buddhist monasteries, diverse landscapes, and fascinating culture with a touch of French influence.

You can find the most affordable accommodation in Laos. How does a room costing less than $2 sound to you? It’s not great, but it could be a great story.

The best money-saving tip is to Use the Visit free alternatives. Do your research to find smaller temples offering free entry if you visit Laos’s temples. However, they may be less grand but serve the same spiritual purpose.

8.Indonesia

When I refer to Indonesia, I don’t mean Bali. It’s still relatively affordable to visit Indonesia, but the rise in tourists and digital nomads has increased the cost of travel. Leave Bali and the prices will drop instantly.

There is so much more to Indonesia that Bali.

Borobudur, the biggest Buddhist temple in the world, is in Java.

Lombok, a great place to surf, is less expensive and has fewer people waiting for waves than Bali.

Sumatra is home tropical rainforests, and smouldering volcanic craters.

This is just 3 of the more than 6,000 islands Indonesia has to offer!

9.Nepal

If you want to spend less than thousands of dollars climbing Everest, Nepal is the best country to travel in Asia.

Nepal is home to the famous Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world. This incredible mountain range can be explored for free if you are a keen hiker.

Apart from the hiking, entry fees for Nepal’s major tourist sites are fairly low. Public transport is inexpensive and you can find delicious food for as few dollars.

The top money-saving tip: It is usually cheaper to fly to Delhi first and then connect to Nepal.

You can save money on accommodation and volunteer in Nepal, even though Nepal is an affordable country. Working with an NGO in a hospital, on a coffee farm, or as a teacher at a school in a village are some examples of experiences you might consider.

10.Turkey

The Turkish Lira, Turkey’s currency, has seen a significant drop in value over the last few years. Turkey is now a cheaper country to visit.

Turkey offers unforgettable experiences. You can also bathe in the blue waters of Pamukkale.

It is also known for its bizarre bazaars, majestic mosques, idyllic beach areas, and deep history, as seen at Ephesus.

Save money by staying in hotels or hostels that offer breakfast. Traditional Turkish breakfasts are huge! You can have fresh-baked bread, fruit and pastries, meat, eggs, cheese, and olives. Lunch is not necessary!

Top European destinations for cheap travel

11.Albania

Albania is Europe’s hidden gem. The strange thing about Albania is that you feel like you are outside of Europe while there. It’s more like an adventure! Albania is authentic, and it has yet to be developed for tourism.

Best of all, you won’t have to pay European prices! A bus to get around the country is around $5. Most hostels are under $10 per night. They usually include breakfast!

Albania is a place you can easily spend several weeks in. Enjoy the Albanian Riviera and visit one of the 170,000 Albanian bunkers. Or, take the Peaks of the Balkans hiking challenge.

The top money-saving tip is Albania has a lot of hitch-hiking culture. Hitch-hiking is a great way to save money on transport.

12.Portugal

It can be not easy to afford travel in Western Europe. But Portugal is an exception. It is a European paradise with all the charms we love, but it has been affordable.

People return to Portugal for its beautiful beaches and world-famous surfing spots.

It is a beautiful place to eat and drink. There are many cheap restaurants available. You can enjoy as much wine as your heart desires (and take responsibility for what you drink). Bottles are available for as low as $2.

Money saving tips Prices tend to rise during peak summer months, as with many European countries. You can enjoy Portugal’s low prices if you travel outside of peak season. You will find the weather is still good and the prices are even better.

Volunteering can help you save money on higher hostel and hotel prices if you are limited in your travel plans. World  packers offers over 140 work-exchanges in Portugal.

13.Romania

Consider adding Romania to your bucket list if you want to explore a beautiful and affordable part of Europe.

Bucharest is a great city getaway destination. You can explore Bucharest’s cobblestone streets and learn about its rich history. After that, enjoy a drink at one of the many bohemian bars in Bucharest. You can’t afford to miss the $1 beer!

Romania is more than just its capital. You can explore the unspoiled and unique natural landscapes of Romania, like the Carpathian Mountains, if you have more time. Hiking is an excellent free activity!

A top money-saving tip is Lunch menus starting at $6 include a soup, main, and dessert. You might not even need dinner if you have a late lunch.

14.Morocco

Morocco has been voted Africa’s top destination. Its vibrant culture, rich food, and endless desert make it a hard destination to ignore.

Morocco has many things on your bucket list.

Hostels in Morocco are usually between $5-10 and most include a traditional Moroccan breakfast. These are large enough to last you until dinner. M’semen or tagines are delicious but affordable food choices if you feel hungry later in the day.

The best tip to save money is Don’t allow taxi drivers to take advantage of your situation. They’ll try! They will try! You will be charged for the time they took to wait. You can always take one from the street or ask them for their meter.

You want to spend more time in Morocco but don’t have enough money.

15.Malawi

Malawi, a country in Southern Africa, is off most people’s radar. It’s a shame because it is one of the most affordable countries in Africa.

It is also one of Africa’s safest places to travel.

The Big 5 (lions, leopards, rhinos, cape buffalo, elephant) can be found in Malawi’s national park, one of Africa’s most affordable places to visit.

Save money by visiting the shoulder season (April-June) to get even lower prices. Even though the weather may not be ideal, you will still save money.
