Now’s the time to take advantage of great deals before the peak holiday season starts in late December. I’ve found several good examples of what’s out there; this week’s Latin America travel deals include a Cancun comedy festival, $250 discounts off Amazon cruises, and 15% off services at a Puerto Vallarta hotel.
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!

AdventureSmith Expeditions
Peru
The Deal: Save $250 on Peruvian Amazon Cruise
What Makes It Cool: Small ship cruise expert AdventureSmith Explorations is offering a $250 per person savings on its most affordable Peruvian Amazon cruise, plus an additional $250 off if combined with a Machu Picchu land tour. The already value-driven nine-day Amatista Amazon Cruise from $2,499 per person, double, has been enhanced this year by lengthening the trip to nine days and offering more departures and a better streamlined experience. This longer, more in-depth itinerary spends more time in Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve and adds value with included flights and accommodation in Lima. This cruise program can easily be combined with the five-day Machu Picchu Explorer from $1,395 per person, double, for additional savings. This dual $250-off promotion applies to any departure.
Valid for Travel: Book by December 15, 2015, for travel through July 31, 2016.
