Off The Beaten Path Vacations

Just because you do not have an unlimited vacation budget and cheap airplane tickets, and discount hotel rooms or cheap vacation packages are important to you, does not mean that cannot enjoy a terrific vacation while spending far less than if you visited more well known destinations.

The following locals offer key features of a celebrity vacation, but at prices the value conscious traveler can afford:

Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles offers pristine Caribbean waters and is ranked as one of the best scuba and snorkel destinations in the world, sporting pristine stretches of coral reef. Bonaire is a great place to hike, bird watch and windsurf.

Dubrovnik, Croatia exudes a touch of old world class. It is located on the Adriatic Sea coast and is one of the most well-known tourist destinations on the Adriatic. Dubrovnik enjoys a mild climate, beautiful beaches and impressive old world architecture including Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque churches, monasteries, palaces, and fountains.

Luang Probang, Laos is a historic royal city that offers French colonial elegance. Impressive Buddhist temples and old French architecture are rampant. Authentic French picnic lunches can be had for as little as $1, with traditional Lao massages available for a couple of dollars.

Bogota, Columbia has turned into a cosmopolitan South American city. Bogota is now viewed as one of Latin Americas urban highlights, offering exciting night life, colonial churches, and a very impressive Gold Museum. Bogotas fanciest restaurants charge top American prices for food, but local food can be enjoyed very at very reasonable prices.

Siwa, Egypt is a private oasis that has been described by the New York Times as one of the most laid back spots in Africa. The city is 350 miles out of Cairo and is well known for its date palms and national springs. A full Egyptian meal can be enjoyed for under $10.

By willing to visit destinations that do not have as much tourist infrastructure as more well known locals you may find more authentic adventures as well as a lot more peace and quiet.
