Summer is just around the corner and many of us are already dreaming of that well-deserved break. The good news is that, although it may seem impossible, save money during your summer vacation is easier than you think.
With a little planning and some practical tips, you can enjoy an unforgettable trip without spending a fortune. Here are a couple of tips to get you started on your adventure!
Tips to save money in summer
1. Plan Ahead
Planning ahead is key to save money during your summer vacation. Booking flights, accommodation and activities at least two months in advance is usually much more economical.
In addition, by having everything organized, you will avoid unforeseen expenses that may arise at the last minute.

2. Choose less popular destinations
The most popular destinations are usually the most expensive in summer. So, instead of opting for places like Ibiza, consider lesser-known but equally beautiful destinations. Less crowded beaches or smaller towns can offer a unique and much cheaper experience - discover Tulum, Isla Mujeres and more!
3. Travel with packages
Often, packages that include flight, hotel and activities are cheaper than booking each service separately. So, to save money during your summer vacation, don't forget to check airlines' and hotels' websites for special promotions.

4. Take advantage of last minute deals
While one of the first tips for saving on your vacation is to book in advance, we can't deny that last minute deals are often a great help, especially if you have flexibility in your dates and destinations!
Many travel agencies offer significant discounts to fill empty seats on flights and hotels.
5. Rent a house or apartment
Renting a house or apartment can be more economical than staying in a hotel, especially if you are traveling in a group. Also, having a kitchen allows you to save on meals by being able to prepare your own food.
If you are traveling to Cancun, we recommend you to visit Cancun Vacation Rental, , here you will find properties for all tastes and budgets. The best part? Its central location.

6. Use public transportation
To get around your destination, research public transportation options, rent bicycles or even walk when possible. Cabs and private transportation services can quickly add to your expenses. In addition, public transportation allows you to have a more authentic and one hundred percent local experience.
We only recommend renting a car or booking a shuttle service when traveling with a family or a large group of friends. This way you can share the cost and travel hassle-free.
7. Eat like a local
Gastronomy is an essential part of any trip, but eating in restaurants every day can be expensive. To save money during your summer vacation, look for street markets, street food stalls or supermarkets to try local delicacies at much lower prices.
Believe us, not only will you save, but you'll also have a more authentic experience.

8. Outdoor Activities
Summer offers a wealth of free or inexpensive outdoor activities. You can enjoy hiking, snorkeling or just relaxing on the beach. So do your research on the options available at your destination to find activities that fit your budget.
If you want a more complete experience, you can always opt for local kayaking tours, snorkeling excursions, or organized visits to nature reserves. These can give you a deeper insight into the place you are visiting without spending too much and many times, by booking in advance, you can get additional discounts.

9. Share costs
Although it may seem obvious, if you are traveling with friends or family, sharing the costs of lodging, transportation and food can significantly reduce expenses. In addition, by splitting the price of group activities and tours, you can access better deals and packages.
This strategy will not only help you save a little, but will also allow you to create unforgettable memories with your favorite people.
