Feeling over-worked, over-tired and under-paid? Need a cheap travel destination to get away from it all? Stop wondering and start packing! Being the workaholic that you are, you’re probably expecting to have to do a ton of research, but it’s easy once you know a few insider tips.
There are many cheap travel destinations out there, but these few are exceptionally cheap. Don’t be afraid, though – they have all the beauty of an expensive trip. Costa Rica is the second smallest country in Central America. This makes it very easy to see most or all of the country in just under a few weeks.
There is no part of the country that has a greater travel time than 10 hours by car. While in Costa Rica, visiting the beautiful capitol San Jose is super easy due to its great bus service.
Also while in Costa Rica, make it a point to see all of the breathtaking mountain views, sunsets over the beach, and sparkling rivers. You can see Costa Rica in all of its beauty at absolutely no cost to you!
Another priceless tourist attraction is the Montverde cloud forest. Sleeping over is at no great cost, either. You can find hostels as cheap as $8 per night and hotel rooms as inexpensive as $15 per night in San Jose.
Margarita Island, Venezuela is another cheap travel destination and yes, the name of it is foreshadowing what’s to come. If you’re looking for a great margarita at the price of a cola, then you’ve come to the right place. Speaking of drinks, a beer in beautiful Margarita Island generally goes for about $1.
Nightlife on Margarita Island just may be your deciding factor. They have great discos which feature authentic Latin/Western music. A lot of local clubs feature live music that you can swing your hips to.
Hostels are modestly priced here as well. They’re not as cheap as Costa Rica, but they generally go as low at $13 a night. Meals here might as well be free. A fresh seafood meal goes for around $7.00 and is delicious.
Another great thing about Margarita Island is its infamous 320 sunny days out of the year. Being so beautiful, it’s suggested you take in a little scuba diving, fishing, tanning, or riding horseback as daytime fun. Here, you can buy authentic souvenirs such as wicker items from the natives at local markets.
Cheap travel destinations like these make your quick getaway as enjoyable as possible. It’s always great to be able to go away for a week or two and not have to worry about it burning a hole in your pocket. Enjoy your well-earned vacation!
