You are aware of how it works: once the nomad begin arriving, rates start to go up drastically in reply.
That’s been the case in Lisbon, Portugal, and ( former ) budget-friendly hotspot Tbilisi, Georgia, and as the number of nomads rises, the phenomenon is bound to arrive soon in all of your favorite Latin American destinations.

A chilly coastal town in southwest Nicaragua with magnificent Pacific coastlines and lush forests surrounds it.
San Juan del Sur is a rapidly expanding place on Nomad List, a well-known meter used to gauge the popularity of specific locations by rural workers.
It is particularly famous for surfing and bathing, with Maderas Beach boasting high waves, whereas Marsella Beach offers countless miles of soft, untroubled sands, and weather-wise, it’s always a nice regular of 82.4°F up.
Nomads even love San Juan for the no-frills atmosphere,’ good’ enjoyment, with plenty of beach bars and youth hostels contributing to a thriving social scene, and cheap prices: according to Nomad List, it costs just$ 1, 505 per month to live.

Cuenca, Ecuador
This one is for history buffs who ca n’t help but think about the numerous historic structures that have virtually remained unchanged over the years, vibrant city markets with distinctive flavors and aromas, and ancient ruins that even predate Columbus.
One of Ecuador’s most beautiful cities, it is located in the southern half of the country, at the foot of the Andes, and it’s best-known for its intact, colonial-era Old Town, littered with historical monuments and casual eateries serving traditional food.
Whether it’s basking in the gloriousness of a 16th-century Catedral Vieja, exploring a beautiful Parque Calderón, or sampling local variations of ceviche at Mercado 10 de Agosto, this one’s for the well-read nomads who love themselves a little cultural immersion.
You could spend a month exploring Cuenca in-depth and still not see everything it has to offer thanks to the numerous tourist options and endless list of attractions available to you. Lucky for you, it’s one of those affordable cultural getaways that costs you only$ 1, 722 per month on average.
La Paz, Bolivia
One of Bolivia’s two capitals, La Paz is the highest administrative center in the world, perched atop the Andean Altiplano plateau over 3, 500 meters above sea level––it will get you some time acclimatizing, but once you do, you’ll never want to leave:
Other than the stunning nature within short driving distance of the city itself, it is a bustling metropolis of many miradores, flea markets, colonial masterpieces and colorful neighborhoods, and one we would n’t rush to be leaving as digital nomads.
It is a workcation hub waiting to happen thanks to its large selection of coworking centers, including Cowork Sopocachi and Nexo Cowork to name a couple, amazing street food for less than$ 2, and overall monthly costs of an affordable$ 1, 353.
Oh, and we’re aware that you probably have the Witches ‘ Market high on your list of places to visit, given the variety of handicrafts and quirky souvenir shops, but do n’t forget to stop by the Mercado Lanza if you’re looking for cheap food.
Curitiba, Brazil
Forget a jam-packed, increasingly-dangerous Rio! You wo n’t have to spend 15 Brazilian reais for some coconut water, which is just as amazing as it is for a substitute where safety levels are higher ( as is the quality of life ).
Granted, it does n’t have the glitz and glam of Copacabana, but its elegant skyline features some of the most prominent architectural marvels of the Brazil of Old, including an ornate, Art Nouveau-inspired Paco da Liberdade and the iconic glass conservatory of the French-inspired Botanical Gardens.
Besides its gorgeous cityscape, Curitiba is one of the safest state capitals in Brazil, with lower-than-average crime rates for its own country, as verified by Numbeo: it does n’t necessarily mean it’s ultra-safe, but by Brazilian standards, it’s as safe as it gets.
Perhaps most importantly for the budget-conscious nomad, life here is inexpensive even by Brazilian standards, with remote workers spending on average$ 1, 251 per month––it’s no wonder it’s now the fifth-highest peaking destination on Nomad List‘s Latin America ranking.
