This South American gem is home to the world-famous Machu Picchu and lush sections of the Amazon rainforest – and very affordable for a savvy traveler. It’s rich in archaeological sites such as the Sacred Valley, Inca Trail and the impressive city of Cusco, but if you get off the beaten track, you can eat incredible Peruvian delicacies for as little as US$3. Getting around Peru can also be reasonable, with some monthly transport passes costing as little as US$21.
