If you're craving a truly adventurous vacation, then take a look at Spirit's super-cheap flights down to the capital of Peru, with one connection and a journey time of about 20 hours. Lima itself is frequently criticized, but, while it's not the prettiest city on Earth, it definitely has its attractions — a terrific dining scene and pulsing nightlife among them. But really, your vacation will be about getting out to see Peru's many wonders, from the stupendous Inca architecture at Machu Picchu to the stunning glacier-capped peaks of the Cordillera Blanca.
8. Fly from Tampa to Panama City, Panama, for as low as $375 round trip
The chaotic sprawl of Panama may not be your first choice for a relaxing vacation, but if the thought of a wild cultural melting pot positioned at the crossroads of the modern world sparks your curiosity, then take a look at Spirit's low-cost flights. The city's famous canal has long placed it at the forefront of global trade, and visiting it — along with the excellent museum at Miraflores Lock — is a fascinating experience. Meanwhile, a different pace of life unfolds in the Casco Viejo, a pretty peninsula dotted with colonial buildings, boutique hotels and fine restaurants.
7. Fly from Tampa to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic, for as low as $344 round trip

By this point, everything you could possibly desire has sprung up in the area, from world-class golf courses to cave-carved nightclubs to every type of accommodation option imaginable. It's well-served for flights, too, with Delta operating a connecting route from Tampa that takes around seven hours to reach Punta Cana's stunning shoreline.
6. Fly from Tampa to Cancun, Mexico, for as low as $338 round trip
Cancun is a sun-kissed slice of paradise situated on Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula. A little outside the town itself, a beautiful stretch of white sand shoreline hosts the majority of the resorts and hotels. Behind the buildings lies a glimmering lagoon ringed with fine restaurants and lively nightclubs. Cancun also has an ace up its sleeve as an excellent base for trips to see the hugely evocative Maya ruins at Chichen Itza. Delta operate cheap direct flights across the Gulf of Mexico with a journey time of under two hours.
5. Fly from Tampa to San Jose, Costa Rica, for as low as $319 round trip

It's almost certainly the world's top destination for ecotourism, home to an immense diversity of terrains, from tropical rainforests to wild beaches to dry woodland to scorched volcanic slopes. There are endless opportunities to see animals slouching about in their natural environment, particularly tropical mammals like sloths, tapirs, monkeys and jaguars, as well as sea turtles on the Pacific and Caribbean coasts.

4. Fly from Tampa to Toronto, Canada, for as low as $308 round trip
Traverse the length of the United States on direct Air Canada flights to Toronto, which take less than three hours to cross the Canadian border. And while swapping Florida's subtropical sun for the northern skies of Toronto may seem an odd decision to some, there are plenty of reasons to pack a few sweaters and take the trip. Chief among them are the city's magnificent array of art galleries and museums, from the eclectic Art Gallery of Ontario to the eccentric Bata Shoe Museum, which includes Napoleon's socks among its footwear-focused exhibits.

Its Old Town is truly stunning and perhaps the best preserved in the Caribbean, a warren of flower-decked cobbled streets lined with 16th-century Spanish forts and stylish 21st-century cafes. And beyond it spreads perfect beaches and a vibrant city with all the shopping and nightlife options you could desire.
2. Fly from Tampa to Charlotte Amalie, Saint Thomas, for as low as $239 round trip

Firstly, beaches: Saint Thomas is fringed by some of the finest specimens in the Caribbean, including the pristine white-sand crescent of Magen's Bay.
