welcome to Mojo travels and today we'll be counting down our picks for the top 10 Â
cheapest destinations in the world are you a fan of our videos be sure to subscribe to Mojo Â
travels and ring the bell to be notified about our latest videos for this list we're looking at Â
dream destinations that are friendly to your wallet number 10. Colombia the great thing Â
about this South American country is its huge diversity of people wildlife and climate it's Â
generally tropical and has the humid jungles most associated with the continent but if you want to Â
spend your vacation somewhere more temperate you can travel into the Andes Mountains cities like Â
iplus and Tonka are up there and have extremely high elevations making them perfect for outdoor Â
activities like mountain climbing without the heat being unbearable although there are more Â
complicated activities like scuba diving and a myriad of historical sites to see there are Â
many things to do that are cheaper in Colombia than anywhere else if you know what you're doing Â
with the outdoors you'll be able to do some hiking and exploration yourself and there are many budget Â
options for accommodation even in major cities number nine Indonesia when Indonesia is brought up Â
one Island captures the imagination like no other barley however Bali is so famous and popular with Â
tourists that if your goal is to see the country without breaking the bank you want to avoid it Â
completely luckily Indonesia has more than 17 000 Islands in its archipelago so by eliminating one Â
from your itinerary you're likely not missing out on much some have said that Sumatra is the Â
best bang for your book Island however even if you have your heart set on Bali you're always going to Â
save money by doing one simple thing sticking to one island or two at a push because Indonesia is Â
all Islands getting from one to the other quickly gets expensive between the ferries and airplanes Â
the more remote locales so pick an island with a big airport and dedicate your vacation to seeing Â
everything that island has to offer number eight turkey as with other countries if you choose to Â
backpack around Turkey you're always going to save money taking everything you need in Â
one bag and staying in hostels is the cheapest way to see pretty much anywhere in the country Â
Turkey has some stunning sites of natural beauty including many golden beaches on the coast of the Â
Mediterranean not to mention its most famous spot pamukali a region of huge salt flats in denisling Â
fast south of Istanbul Istanbul itself is also phenomenal a major city that has a long history Â
dating back thousands of years it was the center of both the Byzantine and ottoman Empires you Â
could also make your way to Cappadocia and see the unique underground city ultimately turkey's Pride Â
mostly depends on how far away you are and how much the airfare is number 7. Mexico it's been Â
a popular tourist destination for Americans for years thanks to its proximity but Mexico is also Â
growing in popularity for people from far off continents possibly the biggest tourist trap is Â
Cancun in the Yucatan Peninsula and that makes it pretty expensive Beyond Cancun however the Yucatan Â
alone has a lot to offer including the stunning ruins and beaches in Tulum like other countries Â
Mexico is a Haven for Backpackers with many hostels opening their doors to tourists and buses Â
coming in pretty cheap something else easy to find cheap is the food Mexican food is delicious Â
and beloved even by people who have never stepped foot in the country and getting it from the source Â
of from small local establishments means you'll be getting a healthy and mouth-watering meal for Â
only a few pesos number six Poland certainly an underappreciated European destination Poland has a Â
long Rich history that shines through many of its cities large or small Warsaw the capital might be Â
more expensive but it's still great for those on a tight budget it's brightly colored buildings and Â
efficient transport Network mean that you'll love just getting from point A to point B and in any of Â
the Cities Poland's many museums often host free days so you can explore its history without paying Â
a cent it's definitely a dream for any history lover particularly second world war history as Â
Poland still has many wartime structures that are memorialized finally Poland has a lot of cheap Â
food and beer for you to enjoy you could get a traditional polish goulash or polish dumplings in Â
most eateries not to mention potato cakes number 5. Guatemala on Mexico's Southern border Guatemala Â
is definitely an up-and-coming destination it's been rising in popularity for a while its best Â
attraction is its stunning Coastline and many jungles which can be explored very easily on a Â
limited budget you can often spend days at the beach without spending anything except Â
on transport and food and that's if you're not close enough to walk in the wilderness you may Â
need to pay for a guide if you're going to do anything difficult like height to the top of the Â
active pacaya volcano in Antigua accommodation is very cheap however with even more expensive Â
options costing less than forty dollars a night on average even making a large city like Antigua your Â
base will still bring the savings be sure to drink plenty of Guatemala's famous coffee while you're Â
there number 4. Romania back in Europe though Romania is well famous for its Gothic horror Â
trappings it's still an underrated destination with more to offer than spooky medieval castles Â
though if spooky medieval castles are exactly what you're interested in then there's no better place Â
the capital city is Bucharest and it's absolutely beautiful with many buildings that will interest Â
anybody who cares about architecture you can also head to Constanta for some gorgeous Sun and Sand Â
along the coast of the Black Sea or go Inland for The Verdant mountains about half of the Â
Carpathian Mountains are in Romania which means it has many regions offering outdoor activities Â
like hiking in summer and skiing in the winter all of this can be seen with a minimal budget if Â
you don't mind staying in hostels and venturing a little off the beaten path number three Nepal Â
there's one thing in Nepal that will send your vacation costs skyrocketing unfathomably High an Â
attempt to Summit Mount Everest in fact a climb that gives you the help of sherpers and oxygen Â
tanks can cost well over fifty thousand dollars if you don't do this however Nepal is absolutely Â
a country you can visit without breaking the bank and it has plenty more to offer besides Â
the world's tallest mountain as well as that Nepalese authorities are encouraging tourists Â
to visit the country in droves the main reason is that there's an abundance of competitively priced Â
accommodation so it's easy to stay there with minimal expenditure activities are cheap too with Â
non-everage climbing and Hiking coming in cheaper and doing the same thing in a different country as Â
long as you know how to avoid ending the locals you'll enjoy every second of your time in Nepal Â
number 2. Thailand if you're able you can spend an enormous amount of money on a Thai vacation Â
to live in the lava luxury which might be why it's not the cheap destination you immediately think of Â
however it's absolutely possible to explore this stunning country without spending all that much Â
at all there are a lot of budget accommodation options and even staying in Bangkok you'll be able Â
to get by on a lot less than initially thought leaving Bangkok and heading further north is a Â
way towards even bigger savings and you'll also be able to get plenty of souvenirs Thailand has Â
incredible jungle tracks and sandy beaches ancient ruins and huge borders but Above All Else Thailand Â
has the best street food in the world and most of it won't cost you much at all number one Vietnam Â
it's still not a country as popular with Western tourists as others but Vietnam has a lot to offer Â
especially if you don't have a lot to spend though from places like Europe the flights can be costly Â
once there Vietnam is from only the Backpackers and offers some incredible natural wonders but Â
even if you're not backpacking and you want to stay in some more high-end hotels you'll Â
still be saving a lot of money for the taste of Vietnam's rich and complex history head to Â
the many museums in either Ho Chi Minh City in the South or Hanoi in the north even cruising through Â
halong Bay can be relatively cheap expect to pay under a hundred dollars for one on the cheaper Â
side the abundance of tasty Seafood works in your favor as well you'll be able to enjoy Â
