Ballpark cost for Southeast Asia or South America in April?

My sweetie and I are still unsure where we want to take our next big trip but I'm trying to get a sense of ballpark cost, per person, for such a vacation. We're not fancy resort people but we're active adventure types so lots of activity costs. I'm thinking 10ish days. The only estimates I've found are $4000 each.

 

Anyone have an idea or a good website with info? 

Re: Ballpark cost for Southeast Asia or South America in April?

  • It's totally going to depend where in South American and where in Southeast Asia. I'd just start pricing stuff out, look at airfare to various countries, look on tripadvisor for a few hotels, etc. 

    Depending on where you are coming from, I'd think $2000 for the two of you is a fairly good estimate for your main flight. On top of that, my husband and I spent another $3000 for our 10 day Argentina trip, so $8000 sounds like a lot. But, if we had flown down to Patagonia or flown to Iguazu falls I can see how that cost would rise quickly. Same with Southeast Asia - again it depends where in the region and on a  lot of other factors, but when you can get street food in Thailand for like a dollar and a decent private room in a hostel for like $40 or less, $8000 for ten days seems like a lot.  

     Guidebooks can also help (and I think Lonely Planet has daily estimates) when it comes to avg hotel/hostel cost, bus fare, meals, etc.
