Vacation Exchange: Vacaciones Intercambio

2008-03-02T16:23:00.000-02:00

Vacation home exchange or simply "vacation exchange" is a new way to travel without paying for lodging.

(called Intercambio de vacaciones o intercambio de estadías in spanish)

Who may take advantage of this? Well is there certain programs where you pay a registration tax and then you deal with other owners directly.

But Argentina Brasil Online Hoteles has an interesting version: if you own a hotel, inn, resort or vacation home in any destination, register for free filling a plain form and you may be hosted in Venezuela beaches, Brazil beaches and Argentina (Patagonia, Buenos Aires and other places) for free (well you will complete an exchange so you host somebody and you are hosted in excellent hotels, inns, cabins)

Take a look in http://www.online-hoteles.com.ar/canjes.htm it is in spanish but use google translation to english if you don't understand a word.

Example: you have a beach home in puerto vallarta and want to visit Villa la Angostura, register and they will contact you, perhaps you may set an arrangement and you will be recived in your vacations after or before you host somebody in your place. That's it! No money involved.

They have great inventory!
