21 cheap destinations to go

North America

*Advertising – Making a list of the best places to travel may seem a little pretentious. Therefore, this is not a definitive selection. And, despite the word “cheap” in the title, it’s not exclusive to backpackers. We decided to do an exercise to think about which places in the world are where, regardless of the devalued real, you can spend little and have an incredible experience. That good cost/benefit scheme.

The list of best places to travel was made thinking about special countries that we know and described with the expenses per day and other costs of a trip. These estimated expenses include everything: accommodation, transportation within cities and travel between cities, food, etc.

We also divided the values ​​between two traveler profiles: the backpacker, who stays in a hostel and saves as much money as possible on the trip, and what we call a “smart budget”, that traveler who likes comfort, but also controls their expenses, staying in nice hotels and guesthouses, taking a taxi here or there.

No matter your destination and budget, travel insurance is a necessary and sometimes mandatory item. World Nomads is a travel insurance company with over 18 years of experience in the sector. It is made by travelers and known for its excellence among experienced travelers. They have service in Portuguese and extensive coverage, which even includes extreme sports – they cover more than 180 sports and adventure activities and the traveler does not pay extra for either, as well as for pregnancy and pre-existing illnesses. All plans already include these coverages. World Nomads also offers some of the only insurance in the world that you can take out while traveling. You don’t need to return from your trip to request a refund, you can start the process even if you are outside Brazil, which is great for those traveling for long periods of time.
