This week’s roundup of my favorite Latin America travel deals is decidedly diverse: You’ll find $1,500 resort credits from Paradisus Resorts in the Dominican Republic and Mexico, $106-a-day scuba diving packages from the Allegro Cozumel resort in Mexico, $380 discounts on Galapagos cruises from Marnella Tours in Ecuador, and a Guatemala travel package that includes visits to several of that Central American nation’s best tourism spots. Read on for details (and please do let me know if you take advantage of any of these offers; I’d love to get a full report on them)!
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, 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.
