4. BRAZIL

Cristo Redentor, Brazil.

Brazil is the country with the biggest land area in South America, but we can’t complain. It has amazing scenery that would make anyone fall in love with this country and wish they would go back to spend another vacation there. All the geographical features such as the worldwide known Amazon wild forest, their white-sand beaches, and its location where the equator line crosses which grants some parts of this enchanting country with great tropical weather all year round are things that you should experience yourself. They also have great man-made infrastructures such as the “Christ the Redeemer,” the “Juscelino Kubitschek Bridge,” or the “Church of San Francisco” which are to admire. Other impressive landmarks to visit while in Brazil are: The Iguazu Falls, Copacabana, Porto de Galinhas, and the Historoc Centre.

Brazil’s population is remarkably diverse. It’s composed of all kinds of races; but despite that, its people is notably friendly. You’ll make friends everywhere regardless the part of Brazil you’re in.

This admirable country is also very economically accessible. Their currency is the Brazilian Real. 1 US Dollar equals 2.21 Brazilian Real. If you know how to manage money, you might be able to spend about R$ 100 a day. That’s less than $50 USD. That’s cheap! And for the experience that you get, it is definitely worth it.

3. THAILAND

Happiness on earth, home to the world’s largest golden Buddha statue in the world, the Grand Palace, and the Sanctuary of truth; Thailand is the most popular tourist destination in Southeast Asia. It is also known as the Land of Smiles because its people is the friendliest people! It has great nightlife for the party people, and for the day time it has many attractions which are extremely fun and affordable like going to the Elephant nature park, the Giant Swing, or the Sriracha Tiger zoo. Not to forget, it houses some of the best beaches in the world! Such as Patong Beach, Maya Bay, and Hua Hin Beach.

2. Greece

Cyclades, Santorini.

Being one of the most visited places of the world, Greece is an astonishing magical destination that makes it to everyone’s travel list. The naturally gorgeous beaches, all of its islands, its lovely villages filled with white buildings, and of course its ancient Greek structures and monuments from its mythology which is what Greece is mostly known for such as the Temple of Hera, the Temple of Poseidon, the Parthenon, and the Propylaea. Greece has a plethora of wonderful places which can amaze any tourist. Visiting Greece is a life changing experience that you can’t afford to miss. Their gastronomy is great, too. Tasty, delicious, and healthy; what else can you ask for?

1 US Dollar equals 0.74 Euro, but since the economy of the motherland, as it’s sometimes called, is in not a very great situation right now, travelers can spend an amazing vacation without hurting the pockets

Known as the Land of the Cleanest Waters, Home of the Olympics, and Home of Alexander the Great, Greece is a great destination. With so many places to visit at cheap prices, Greece deserves to be the # 2 of this top 5 list.

1. Indonesia

At the top of the list is this piece of paradise on earth. 

Wonderful Indonesia, as it is often called, has so many things to present to tourists; from dive sites, to amazing flora and fauna to admire(reason why it is also known as The lungs of the world), from volcanoes to ancient temples to exquisite gastronomy. In fact, Indonesia is considered one of the countries with best culinary traditions; but the best of all is that all of that and more is at a very affordable price.

Also Bali, one of the most beautiful islands on the entire world, is in Indonesia, The Prambanam Temples, and the Ijen Crater are some of the attractions that Indonesia has to show.

Their currency is the Indonesian Rupiah. 1 US Dollar equals 11470.00 Indonesian Rupiah. Surprisingly, with all the extremely marvelous landscape that you will cherish taking a sight of, Indonesia is relatively cheap. Consider going a day on about $23 USD. Can you beat that bargain? I think not.

Indonesia is surely the place to go.

Note:All of these countries have amazing nature, people, food, and architecture and even thought there are places that are more beautiful than these countries, and there are even cheaper countries to visit, this are the top five on my list when combining prices and sights.I really recommend them and encourage you to give them a chance. You won't regret.
