Why go? From rain forests to ruins, this mountainous country is awash with both natural and historical allure. "Cheaper and less travelled than neighbouring Costa Rica, Guatemala offers many of the same Central American perks from a fraction of the price. Known for Mayan ruins, volcanoes, and stunning architecture, Guatemala also has inexpensive and delicious food that will only set you back a few dollars a day."
Accommodations: For a three-star experience, you'll need to drop about £10 per night, but guesthouses and Airbnbs can be found for even less. The delicious local cuisine typically sets travellers back a few pounds a day.
