I’d never heard of the little Dutch-owned island of Aruba until just recently – but though it’s unbeknown to many of us Brits, it’s a popular holiday destination Dutch and for American couples and honeymooners. The island has year-round sunshine, turquoise seas, colonial Dutch architecture and a Latin vibe. Aruba sounds great, right?

The Yucatan is also much more expensive than central Mexico. But backpacking the Yucatan can be done on a budget and it’s well worth it if you ask us.
