This was pre covid but I absolutely loved Argentina. Buenos Aires is beautiful with tons of culture, great food and wine. All very cheap. Mendoza is stunning and only an hour flight. Wine tours, beautiful views, etc..

Patagonian mountains and Iguazu are also stunning.

I was in Guatemala last week. Feel free to DM for more details. It was by far better than any Caribbean island I’ve been to. Look up lake atitlan. You can stay at some insane hotels or Airbnb’s for 30-50 a night. Food runs you about $30 for a steakhouse and $7 for a normal meal. Drinks at the resort are about $6 at the fancy resort

Just to add covid stuff if your vaccinated then no test required if your arnt they require a rapid test and then to come back to the us you need to get a rapid test even if you’re vaccinated. In Guatemala it was super easy the hotel drove us to an urgent care and it was $50 (most expensive thing I bought on the trip)

smart

P1, that’s super duper helpful! Thank you! I’ll DM you with some Qs, thanks in advance!
