How much money do I need to backpack around Central America for about 6 months?

Hi everyone! Next year my boyfriend and I are planning on backpacking in Central America. I was wondering about how much money I would need to save to do it for about 6 months? It actually might be 6 months to a year but I wanted an estimate for at least 6 months. Any suggestions would be great help! Thanks! Reply to this

2 people, 6 months, food and room, transport after flight in and out,....... the low side is 1000 per month.
could go lower but not much.

that is the backpackers backroad accomodations, minimal partying, and food.

lived and worked in costa rica, mexico, and belize. Good Luck and have a blast. Reply to this

Hello Stephen 😊

Which currency do you mean, when you say 1000 per month?

us dollars. The monthly total could go down quite a bit if they stayed in one place for a month at a time. But then their entertainment side of things will rise a little bit. Reply to this
