It’s time to start thinking about the big discounts and fast-paced shopping opportunities that come with Black Friday and Cyber Monday — and I’ve uncovered the first Cyber Monday travel deals of the season for Latin America, so you’ll have lots of time to prepare. You can get up to 50 percent off your stay at hotels in Mexico and Puerto Rico when you book during this special discount period, but you can travel as late as next year. Also worth noting: A $200 per-person discount off a wide variety of South America vacation packages that include airfare and hotel, among other amenities. Read on for the details.
Don’t forget: You can get some of the best rates on airlines, hotels, rental cars and cruises by using LatinFlyer’s own travel booking engine (it’s at the top right-hand side of this page if you’re using a computer or tablet, or at the bottom of each page if you’re on a cell phone), where it says “Save Big on Your Trip.” With one click, you can compare airfares and rates from more than 10 top travel sites, including Expedia, Orbitz and Travelocity. No more wasting time when you travel!

What Makes It Cool: This vacation packager is offering $200 off per person on any South America vacation package, including trips to Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia and Peru (I’ve worked as a consultant with this company to help develop and introduce their amazingly priced Panama vacation packages, so I know how thorough they are and what a good value they offer — and all rates include airfare).
