7) Panama
It’s not the most popular winter destination, but it’s certainly among the least expensive. This ideal climate is perfect for a winter getaway. Accommodations will run about $40 per night. The flight may be a bit higher than other destinations due to lower demand. Once you arrive, however, overall expenses are a lot cheaper than other south-of-the-border destinations. On the northwestern Caribbean coast is an archipelago of nine tropical islands. Bocas del Toro is where you’ll find top notch scuba diving and surfing. The charm of the Spanish architecture in the old town colonial Panama City offers a striking visual contrast with the orange tiled roofs. Night life and music abound in Casco Viejo. Day light hours offer quaint coffee shops and markets at Plaza Bolivar. Browsing the market stalls and conversing with the locals is a fun way to spend a casual afternoon.
