Sure thing, champ—go big or go home. First, book flights a week before the peak season; those last‑minute deals drop like a stone. Look for hostels or Airbnbs in town, not the fancy hotels—get a hammock, sleep on a cot, and save cash. Pack light: bring a single‑speed or a compact e‑bike; heavier gear means more weight, more cost. Hitch a ride with a local tour operator—sometimes they’ll give you a free ride if you trade a few hours of your time or a post on Instagram. Buy a multi‑day pass for the Andean trail or the gorge route; the per‑day rate drops when you pay all at once. Finally, buy gear on sale sites or at clearance racks before the trip—think bike helmets, trekking boots, or a decent bike rack. Keep the budget tight, the adventure epic. Let's do this!
