For this weeks roundup of the best Latin America travel deals, I’ve found free destination wedding upgrades at several different resorts in Mexico, while in Puerto Rico you can get family discounts and extra perks at one of the island’s most famous resorts, as well as a special cocktail-oriented package that celebrates a new hotel bar at the location where the piña colada just might have been born. Cheers and salud!
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!
