Here are 10 budget-friendly travel destinations to visit on your next trip! Caye Caulker, Belize The laid-back Central American country has hundreds of small islands off the coast where you can stay. Two of the most popular are Ambergris Caye and Caye Caulker. The latter is less expensive and not as touristy. There are no cars on the island, so you can walk everywhere. Hotels are cheap. Although, check several comparison sites. Not every website offers the same price for the same room. Alternatively, search by price range. TripAdvisor lets you read about other travelers’ experiences. Renting an Airbnb is another option. For instance, one bedroom cabanas for as little as $50 a night are not uncommon. Many have kitchenettes, allowing you to cook meals and save on restaurant costs. The country's great exchange rate helps lower costs of food, transportation and accommodations without compromising quality. Their currency is the Belizean Dollar. 1 USD is about the equivalent of 2 BZD. Enjoy the beautiful beaches. Or, book a $40 tour to explore the Belize Barrier Reef UNESCO World Heritage Site. Caye Caulker Marine Reserve snorkeling trip lets you swim with harmless rays and nurse sharks. I had a blast frolicking with these sea sweeties! In addition, other tours explore further into the Hol Chan Reserve.

The Galapagos Islands are teeming with amazing wildlife! It's a must for your bucket list.

Here is a Q&A with helpful tips for your trip to the Galapagos Islands! The Galapagos Islands include almost half of all breeding pairs of Blue-Footed Boobies. The males are very proud of their beautiful feet. The bluer the feet the more attractive to the mate. Both male and female use these webbed feet to cover their young and keep them warm. As you can tell the sea lions are comfortable with everyone. Another gorgeous bird on the Galapagos Islands is the Frigate. The scarlet chest indicates it's a male. They inflate it during mating season to attract the females, who have a white chest. Only one egg is born per bird a season, and they only breed every other year. Their large wing span allows them to soar for days on wind currents. Ecuador means "equator" in Spanish. The capital city of Quito lies on the imaginary line. At this point you are standing at 00-00'-00" on the earth. Related Posts: Chocolate, Coffee & Volcanos in Antigua, Guatemala
