Imagine yourself paddling a kayak through the dense belly of the Amazon rainforest. Can you picture walking side by side with the mighty elephants of Africa. Maybe a bike trek along the Great Wall of China or a cattle drive through Patagonia is more your speed. How does traveling into outer space sound? If any of these wild trips sound like a great way to spend your holiday, then adventure travel may be for you.

One of the fastest-growing trends in the travel business is adventure tourism. Defining exactly what it means is a little tricky. For some, adventure could mean leisurely biking and hiking tours. For others, it might entail BASE jumping into an underground cave in Mexico. The main facets of adventure tourism usually include traveling to a distant location, interacting with different cultures and undertaking a physical activity of some kind.

Adventure travel is typically grouped into two categories -- hard and soft adventures. Hard adventures ... Read more »

Think palm-fringed beaches, colourful colonial buildings and a harmony of Caribbean, Hispanic and American cultures, and you ve got Puerto Rico in a nutshell. A coconut shell, of course. Add to this swathes of tropical rainforest, warm turquoise waters and year-round sunshine and you have all the hallmarks of a perfect holiday destination.

Most visitors flock to Puerto Rico to bask on its pristine sands. From Rinc n s rip-roaring swells to the nearly deserted shores of Vieques where wild horses roam, there really is sand and surf for every type of beach bum. Puerto Rico also has three rare bioluminescent bays: glow-in-the-dark bodies of water that produce a nighttime lightshow for kayakers and boat tours.

Inland, epic landscapes and cultural attractions abound. The central mountain range is riddled with limestone caves and rugged forest trails. El Yunque National Forest, by contrast, is a lush expanse of rainforest, with waterfalls and Taino petroglyphs. The Nature C ... Read more »

The agony of searching for cheap plane tickets is easily avoidable if you know where, when and how to look. Whether you’re booking a weekend retreat to a high-profile city or you’re charged with finding plane tickets for a group to a remote part of the world, there are tricks that guarantee you find the best deal available.

Take note: We don’t mean cramming into a coach seat that has just enough legroom to fit a child. Instead, we’re referring to flexibility before you fly. If you are looking to get away and are flexible on dates, look for plane tickets through the ‘Flexible dates’ search option on the Cheapflights homepage. You’ll then be directed to the absolute best deals available through our more than 300 travel partners.

Both major and low-cost airlines put plane tickets on sale every day of the week. Instead of signing up through individual airlines’ websites for low-fare alerts, consider a more consoli ... Read more »

The best way to find cheap flights is to avoid high season travel times. For example, go to Europe in spring or fall but not in summer.

If you must book during peak travel times do book on standard holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving. New Year's Day morning flights are often the best deals around!

Shop online and spend some time to find a cheap flight! Use our search engine on the left to compare travel websites.

Sign up for frequent flyer programs and e-mail alerts. Most airlines often send out promotional deals, and some of those tickets are absolute steals like $59 each way on JetBlue.

Use frequent flyer points and transfer points from your credit card to get free or very cheap airline tickets. This takes a bit of planning, but if you are making a big purchase anyway think about putting it on your credit card during one of their points promotions and then transferring those points over to your frequent flyers program.
