Mexico

Mexico is brimming with exciting opportunities. This large country is rich in culture, nature, and some of the world's best food. Though the country may not have the best reputation for safety, most crime occurs in specific areas, and Mexico is a large country with many safe spots to visit. What's the good news? It is simple to travel on a budget in Mexico. For less than $20, you can visit at least 5 magnificent cenotes, such as the one shown above; for less than $3, you can eat great street cuisine like as tacos (I LOVE tacos), quesadillas, and tortillas; the white sand beaches are essentially free, and the hospitality? Priceless.

While moving around within a city is inexpensive, intercity travel in Mexico can be expensive, owing to the country's size. The best option is to rent a car, which costs about $30 - $50 per day and may be shared by four persons. If you are backpacking Mexico alone, attempt to remain in the same spot for a longer period of time to spread out your transportation costs. You will be able to explore deeper and discover true Mexico in this manner.
