Travel Deal of the Day (August 15, 2010)

If you are planning to travel within South America, I highly recommend taking a trip to the Iguazu Falls, located on a border between Argentina and Brazil. The most conveniently located hotel for such a trip is the Sheraton Iguazu Hotel. The hotel is currently offering a quite competitive rate for a two night stay.

The Deal:
Under the deal, obtain your first night at regular rate and your second night at a 50% discount. As with any deal, you should check all available rates, but this deal provides a significant discount off of normal rates for a two night stay (which is a good length of stay for a trip to Iguazu).

How:
Go to the Sheraton Iguazu Second Night Half Off Deal.

The Inside Scoop:
In addition to checking the rates available using this discount, be sure to also check other rates, including any corporate rates available using one of the many "SET" (corporate discount) codes that Starwood offers. For instance, Starwood offers a specific SET code for members of certain organizations (e.g., the American Bar Association) or for employees of large organizations. Be sure to check with your organization or with Starwood to find the relevant SET code(s) - it may save you quite a bit of money.

Also note that the views from the Argentine and Brazilian sides of the falls vary tremendously. Spend the time necessary to view the falls from both borders. The views are breathtaking.
