Is this budget/itinerary for Mexico and Central America absolutely mad?
Hello Everyone!
I am leaving Canada in January 2025 to explore Mexico and Central America. Below will be a rough itinerary for context, but I am struggling with a budget. I have about $14000 CAD ($10000 USD) saved. This is excluding flights, but will need to include all accommodation, food, transportation, and tours.
**Mexico - Approx. 1 month**
* Mexico City - 1 week
* Puebla- 2 nights
* Oaxaca - 1 week
* Puerto Escondido - 1 week
* San Jose Del Pacifico - 2 nights
* Salina Cruz - 1 night
* San Cristobal - 4 nights
* Palenque - 2 nights
* Merida - 4 nights
**Belize -**
* Caye Caulker - 5 nights
* San Ignacio - 2 nights
**Guatemala - 2-3 weeks**
* Flores - 3 nights
* Stop in Tikal
* Lanquin - 5 nights
* Lake Atitlan - 5 nights
* Antigua - 5 nights
**Honduras (to see the ruins)??**
* Copan - 2 nights
**El Salvador - 1 week**
* Santa Ana - 4 nights
* Playa El Tunco - 4 nights
**Nicaragua - 1.5 - 2 weeks**
* Leon - 4 nights
* Granada - 4 nights
* Isla De Ometepe - 3 nights
* San Juan Del Sur - 2 nights
**Costa Rica - 1 week (I am really needing help with this)**
* Monteverde - 2 nights
* La Fortuna - 2 nights
* Manuel Antonio - 2 nights
* Puerto Viejo de Talamanca - 2 nights
**Panama - 2 weeks**
* Bocas del Toro - 3 nights
* Hornito - 3 nights
* Panama City - 1 night?
* San Blas Islands - 3 nights
* Panama City - 3 nights?
Fly Home
I am hoping to spend roughly $100 CAD ($72 USD) a day. Here is a breakdown:
$25 CAD ($18 USD) for accommodation per day, staying in hostel dorms
$50 CAD ($35 USD) for food, a combination of street food, restaurants, hostel breakfast & cooking
$15 CAD ($11 USD) for transportation - this seems low with all of the bus travel.
Alcohol may take up the remainder of budget, as I do like the occasional party.
I do not have tours included in this mess of a budget, as I know each country will fluctuate in cost. This is where any input and advice from you will be helpful.
Am I absolutely crazy for thinking this is feasible? Please let me hear your experiences!
