Vacation Tips

With free Wi-Fi in Playa del Carmen, Cancun and Merida, using smartphone apps while on vacation in Mexico got easier and affordable.

We have been using these five travel apps for a while and think you may enjoy them as much as we do. We have more apps to share but start with these great travel apps first and see if they are useful for your vacation!

Hopper or Skyscanner– Find Cheap Airfare
Hopper and Skyscanner are great apps to help you find the lowest priced and cheapest airfare for your vacation. Their price predict feature helps you determine the best day to fly and the best time for you to buy tickets. Super cool and love this app.

CityMaps2Go – Offline City Maps at Your Fingertips
If you are not in an area with public wifi, these offline maps make exploring a lot easier! Put away your paper maps and explore using your smartphone! There are constant updates to this app with their ‘Features List’ being the latest addition.

Using this app, you can make a list of the things you want to do and find your ‘things to do’ on your offline map. It creates your own personal map. Super chido!

Google Translate
If Spanish is not your second language, this app will help you negotiate, find, discover or understand your Mexican vacation better.

Track My Tour – Share your Travels Privately
If you want to share your travels with family and friends, this super cool app lets you share your photos, thoughts and travels privately. All you have to do is send a link to people who are important to you and they can follow your posted photos, maps, and more. No longer do you need to send your travel photos through social media or email. This app shares with those who are nearest and dearest to you.

This has to be the number question we have from many Loco Gringo Friends. So we found this app that highlights local vegetarian and vegan restaurants while you travel.
