25. Guatemala, $38/day
For an amazing Central American adventure on a budget, check out Guatemala. The country is covered in lush jungles, volcanos, and ruins. When you need a break from outdoor sports, its colonial cities will capture your heart with their stunning architecture and cobblestone streets. Local food is delicious and cheap at about $3 for a full meal (except in Antigua, where prices are actually close to US levels).
Local transportation can be very cheap but at times confusing and risky. The locals typically take the chicken buses, which are converted school buses from North America, and are the cheapest way to get around. The buses do not have specific stops, nor is there a board with prices on it. Instead, people simply wave the buses down, and pay the collector money. Watch how much the locals are paying and pay the same.
Meals: $10 – $15 per day. Some hostels offer complimentary breakfast
Accommodation: $10 – $15 per night in a hostel
Transportation: $1 – $3 for a full day of chicken bus rides, or $5 – $10 for an intercity bus ride
SIM card with data: $13 for 2GB with a 30-day validity
