Peru
Home to a world-famous rainforest (yes, the other Amazon), rich archaeological heritage, pristine beaches and culinary delights, like ceviche and cuy al horno, you'll want to add Peru to your short list. Slow down and take time to explore this small tropical nation that's just one-tenth the size of the United States (by population). There's more to Peru than Machu Pichu. Even better, your dollars go farther here, like twice as far. That's according to Numbeo, a crowd-sourced database that shares cost of living figures for countries worldwide.
