For this week’s roundup of the best Latin America travel and vacation deals, we head to the sunny shores of Puerto Vallarta, where love birds can get a free honeymoon deal as part of their all-inclusive hotel package; cultural tours to Cuba that include airfare from Miami; and a “kids stay free” program in Mexico’s Riviera Maya that includes lots of great amenities for children. Since spring and summer vacations will be here before we know it, it’s a great time to start planning those family vacations now.
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.
